Corn: Row and Plant Spacing for Better Yield 

Thanks dear sir, I have learned much in your video

very informative, thank you.

thanks alot for very informative video.

HOW DO YOU CONTROLL WINDS (GRASSES GROWTH) AND WHICH BEST TREATMENT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

Thanks, Bish

Thank you very informative i wish i would get a way to come and learn

Great job sar

I have a small maize bed and i've been experimenting with ccorn density the past 3 years, i tried to do square sacing, but bc my bed is msall i needed to do hand polination and there was pests like grasshoppers so i had to fall back to spaced rows again.

M son threw 3 in on hill so like each corn hill has the other corn growing out wards. And it looks messy can I cut of the ones on each side or just let it happen.

Good job

Nice video. How do you mean 7inches ,40inches within the row. Please explain better. Thanks

Which is the best

Good evening. I'm Victor from Nigeria and I want to cultivate corn 🌽 with good yield. I appreciate the insight shared in this video. Please how can I keep in touch so as to interact with you more often

I planted sweet corn by hand for a late crop, and put in two seeds every 7 inches. Information that I come across tells me to grow them singly. It looks like they are all germinating and I will have double stalks. If I let the double stalks remain, would that be detrimental?

Sir please tell me about the maximum plants that can be planted in an acer...and exact sq feet of your acre...means area taken as an acer

So my corn will grow taller then me?

Didn't explain to well...states row spacing. Is that in the row or row to row

Wish he would translate acre plantings into home garden size plots, eg 20ft x 100 ft??

Square foot gardening goes commercial.

Came here looking for Cornrows didn't check the thumbnail that it was about Corn rows 🤭

1. Start with fresh corn seeds for the best results. 2. Directly sow seeds approximately 1.5 to 2 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. 3. Cover with soil, space your rows of seeds 30 to 36 inches apart. 4. Water your block of corn well after planting. 5. Corn stalks are sturdy and should not need staking.

GOOD

Nice sir but may l visit your farm pls?

Those ears of corn are small and do not reflect the best potential yield for corn. Populations in this video are probably 10% to 20% too high. It is also very advantageous to use flex ear hybrids for the plant to adjust ear size according to population and available moisture. The larger the ears the larger the individual kernels which contribute greatly to test weight which are more bushels because of test weight. Test weights can vary from 2 to 4 lbs. and more. At 2 and 4 lbs. more test weight this is over 8 and 16 bu/acre with a 225 bu. yield or anywhere from $24-$48 to $64 per acre more. With 1,000 acres or crop that is $24,000-$48,000 to $64,000 not taking into account for the lower seed cost. I have to wonder what is the motive for the very high corn plant populations? Even at a 10% lower plant population the savings in seed would be about $30,000. So the total potential increased income from this approach could be anywhere from $54,000 to $94,000 per 1,000 acres of crop. To conclude I think adequate moisture, fertility and disease control are higher priorities than population.
