Corn, tasty and useful plant, has received not too pleasant glory in the middle of the last century. It is still remembered in connection with grandiose plans of Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev. Alas, ignorance of agrotechnology and lack of the zoned grades has led to development of the general opinion: not the Siberian this plant! Meanwhile, today gardeners grow up corn far beyond the Urals and regale till fall on sweet ears.
Corn is divided into grain and vegetable. The first in Siberia is grown up unless on silo: it shoots up vvysota to four meters, and here does not manage to ripen for short summer, reaches only dairy ripeness. But is it in such state it is already possible though and you will not receive seeds. And here vegetable — undersized and early ripening — is suitable for our region better. Besides this look contains more sugar. And what it is unusual scenery for any seasonal dacha! But nevertheless when choosing grade it is worth buying seeds with mark about superearly ripening to receive not only interesting design of kitchen garden. Most often the Dutch and Japanese hybrids can brag of it.
At cultivation of cereal it is important to take its teplolyubivost into account. Corn perishes already at grade level of the thermometer, so, land it towards the end of May. For the guaranteed result it is possible to make secure and in April to get seedling (before landing well to wet seeds per day). However, unpredictability of the Siberian weather can lead to the identical growth rate of seeds in soil and seedlings. Until the first arise — the second will take root. The scheme of landing in both options is extremely simple: 45-50 centimeters among and as much between ranks. Feed up corn two-three times during the summer infusion of mullein or nettle.
To corn on temper light and heat, and here grows in the basic at night as cucumbers. So if after sunset temperature falls lower than 15 degrees, you should not wait for fast development. The root system of cereal is capable to go to the earth on depth of three meters that allows plant to endure drought, however corn of vlagolyubiv, and follows will take care of its regular watering. If there is no rain more than ten days — water to plant will be already vital. In general the plant is unpretentious, does not demand special preparation of the soil. It is started up in rapid growth in the middle of the summer and is capable to give out on 15 centimeters of gain a day.
Having chosen vegetable between two species of corn, it is regularly necessary to tear off the stepsons who are actively formed on it that on stalk two-three ears were formed. Then they will be able to receive maximum of moisture and to save up sugar. The first fruits will be in August. And if to allow ears to ripen to yellowness and rigidity of grains, then it is easy to receive own seeds. By the way, they suit also for preparation of popcorn in frying pan or in the microwave.
If to speak about arrangement of corn on the site, disembarkation on perimeter of cucumber ridges will become great option. Then high escapes will protect gentle cucumbers both from wind, and from the sun.
