Corn seed planting depth depends on environmental conditions and soil type. In general, a depth between 3 and 5 cm is recommended for planting corn seeds. However, it is always best to follow your local advice and guidance on seeding depth to get the best results.
Organic matter in the soil plays an essential role in fertility, water holding capacity and overall strength of the soil. It is estimated that approximately 50% of soil organic matter in most soils was lost in the first 100 years after grasslands and savannahs were converted to agricultural land. Reducing soil erosion through methods such as conservation tillage is very important in soil conservation, saving billions of tons of topsoil, especially on vulnerable lands.
Fields with non-uniform cropping density will usually have lower yield than fields with uniform cropping density, due to direct competition between plants in two different stages of growth next to each other. Because older plants usually outcompete younger plants for light, water, and nutrients
The corn plant performs best in tropical or temperate regions with sufficient light radiation. The type of soil suitable for planting corn is soft and relatively fertile soil with good drainage.
