What is the effect of corn stalking on grain yield?
The effect of corn blight on grain yield depends on several factors, including weather conditions, nutrient sources, and proper plant maintenance. However, it is estimated that the maize pajosh has the greatest effect on the growth and fitness of the seeds. Some of the benefits of corn starch include increased number of kernels, increased kernel volume, and increased kernel oil content. In addition, corn stalks can help reduce the negative effects of weather conditions, including drought and high temperatures. Also, the genetic mutation that leads to corn rust can increase corn's resistance to pests and diseases, thus having a positive effect on grain yield. In general, corn cob can help to improve grain yield and biomass efficiency of this plant.

What is the importance of soil organic matter in corn cultivation?
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.

What is the importance of seed dimensions in the growth process of corn seedlings?
For the proper establishment of the corn plant, it should be noted that the seeds germinate and appear uniformly. It is clear that seed shape and size (seed grading) has nothing to do with germination, seed vigor or yield.

What is the application of fodder corn silage packaging?
Silo packing fodder corn is one of the best ways to store corn for animal feed. This method makes corn not only available at any time and place, but also of higher quality. Packed silos are very uniform and uniform and prevent contamination and damage that may occur in traditional silos. Also, in terms of economy, the use of packed silos leads to a reduction in costs and an increase in livestock productivity. In short, silage packaging is an efficient solution with wide applications for the storage and use of fodder corn as animal feed.

How is silage production and consumption managed?
Animal feed and silage production have always been very important for humanity. Many of the foods we consume are produced directly or indirectly from livestock, and if the supply of these foods is not done well, we may face serious problems. Especially in cold and snowy seasons, providing fresh food for livestock faces many challenges. Therefore, various methods have been used to store animal feed since a long time ago. One of the most important methods is storing this food in the form of silage, which allows farmers to store and use a large amount of plants for livestock feed.

What is fodder corn silage?
Corn silage is used as a high quality fodder in many dairy farms and in some fattening farms. This product is very popular due to its high performance, good digestibility, high energy and ease of adaptation to mechanized harvesting and feeding. Fodder corn can be cultivated ideally in many regions of the country as a second crop after the fall crop. Ensiling is necessary to preserve harvested forage corn. The purpose of making silos is to preserve the harvested product by anaerobic (oxygen-free) fermentation. This process uses bacteria to convert soluble carbohydrates into acetic acid and lactic acid, or "souring" the product. In a completely sealed silo, the product can be preserved for a long time without losing quality. To produce a high quality silage, it is necessary to carefully plant, store and harvest silage corn.

What are the characteristics of triticale?
Triticale is a species of the cereal family, which was created from the crossing of bread wheat and rye. Morphologically, triticale is very similar to wheat. In this crossing, wheat was used as the mother plant and the pollen grains were derived from rye. Triticale has inherited the properties of cold resistance, adaptability to adverse environmental conditions, high lysine content and faster growth from rye and high protein percentage from wheat.
