The Complete Guide on How to Produce 10-16 tons Yellow Hybrid Corn in 1 Hectare

Ultimate Guide and Procedure in planting corn

What you need to know and follow in order to succeed in planting corn. 

First: Soil Requirements and months of planting

 The best soil to be planted with corn is loam soil, it is a combination of sand, silt, and clay. But if you don’t have this kind of soil, sandy loam and clay can be considered if you can get the proper timing of planting. The best planting months are from September to February in some areas in Luzon, particularly central and northern Luzon. If it is not frequently raining in your area, you must have water pump or any source of water that could sustain the corn for growing until it will be harvested.

 Second: Inputs, the things you need to prepare, a month before planting. Be sure that they are available before you start. Approximate cost 50,000

·         2 and 1/2 bags hybrid seeds

·         8 sacks urea and 2 sacks complete fertilizer

·         3 corn planter (no need to prepare if there are planters in your area)

·         2 packs each power grower combo and heavyweight tandem, 1 bottle anaa 400%, 2 bottle vibitall, and 2 liters 3K fertilizer.
