Publisher Summary The corn plant is less capable of adjustment to a poor stand than other members of the grass family. Therefore, it is important that a proper planting rate be chosen. When a corn plant is grown in association with other plants, the available food constituents must be shared and growth processes are correspondingly impaired. With adequate moisture and plant food, and with no competition with other plants, the growth of every organ is enhanced. The amount of plant food available to a plant may be increased in one or both of two ways—the population may be reduced and the fertilizing materials, including water may be applied to the soil. |
