Скачать или смотреть Corn Care: Hilling and Fertilizing Tips

Here’s how I fertilize and hill it to keep it growing strong. This year I’m trying a new sunnier location in the front garden, so I’m hoping for bigger corn. I’m open to tips if you do anything different.

Fertilizer Timeline:

At Planting:
Apply a balanced or phosphorus-rich fertilizer (like 10-10-10) to support early root and shoot growth.

Early Growth:
Fertilize when the corn is 6–12 inches tall. Use nitrogen-rich fertilizer (e.g., blood meal, urea) to support rapid vegetative growth.

Pre-Tassel:
Apply more nitrogen about 6–8 weeks after planting, just before tasseling, to support ear development.

Avoid late fertilizing:
Do not fertilize after tasseling, as it won’t improve yield and may cause problems.

A general fertilizer like 10-10-10 can be applied every 3–6 weeks if needed, stopping once tassels appear.
