Hello,
Firstly, the management for any crop establishment begins with planning. The farmer should plan in advance, ensuring that everything is ready for the day of planting. This operation is fundamental to the success of the new crop.
The main objective is to establish a schedule of activities, so that the planting occurs efficiently and safely, for this it must be programmed for soil operations and herbicide applications predicting rainy days, inappropriate days, so that everything occurs efficiently.
Soil analysis should be performed to make the necessary corrections, such as the application of limestone and gypsum, if necessary, the maintenance of machinery, acquisition of healthy seeds and other insums. Managing soil fertility is essential, because once it is accurate, itwill increase the chance of success in the corn crop.
For the maintenance of machines and implements, a frequent check and general adjustment should be made, mainly in the cutting and fertilizer deposition equipments, gears and transmission chains, cutting discs, among others. The planter must be suitable for corn spacing and seed. The seeder must take into account the technological level contained in the seed, resistances, tolerances, to diseases and pests, the soil conditions and climate from which the crop will settle.
Another important aspect for planting is the depth, in which this seed will be deposited in the soil, seeking to be as uniform as possible, to allow an equal emergence, so that the plants do not compete for water, light and nutrients. The fertilizer should be placed about 5cm next to or below the seed. The treatment of seeds with insecticides is recommended because of soil pests, which can impair the initial development of plants. The speed of the tractor is important, not to compromise the planting density.
The delay in planting season usually hinders other operations, especially weed control and pest control. The occurrence of diseases can also happen with these delays.
With regard to fertilization practices, these are extremely important since crop extraction will depend on the yield obtained from the nutrient concentration in grains and straw, so it is necessary to make available to the plant the total amount of nutrients that the plant needs, being supplied by the soil through fertilization
