The unripe seeds are the edible part of maize, in the so-called phase of milk maturity, containing a relatively high percentage of sugar and starch and almost all essential vitamins.
Maize is a plant that is not very sensitive to the forecrop, however, it requires soils that are rich in nutrients and water. Soils too wet, too succinct, hard to heat up are not suitable. On very fertile soils, In humus crops, maize can be grown in the second year after manure, on others, manure should be digged in the amount of manure in the fall 4 kg/m2. In spring you have to rake the bed, sow mineral fertilizers in doses: 25 g of calcium ammonium nitrate, 20 g superfosfatu i 20-40 g 40% potassium salt per 1 m2, then scorch and loot. Corn can be grown together with cucumbers, as a plant that protects them from the wind. Maize grown in beds in several rows always gives a higher yield, because it is easier to pollinate and sets seeds well. Seeds, protected against diseases with T, is sown, when the fear of frost is over, which can destroy plants. One seed is sown under a hoe, in rows distant by 50-60 cm. After emergence, the plants are left in a row of co 25-30 cm. The sowing depth depends on the type of soil and ranges from 2,5 cm (on heavy soils) do 4-5 cm (on light soils). On sowing 1 m2 required 2,5-3 g nasion.
