How to cultivate Pioneer spring corn seeds?

1. Land Preparation Phase

Pioneer Corn Seeds

No of Days: 0
Stage: Field Preparation
Description
For better germiantion prepare the land to fine tilth by one or two ploughing at 15 CM depth, follwed by two harrowings.

Apply 5 MT or 10 to 15 cartloads of compost manure before final harrowing

2. Planting/Sowing Phase

Pioneer Corn Seeds

No of Days: 0
Stage: Sowing
Description
Select right Pioneer hybrid based on growing conditions/Positioning - P1899 & P1890 for punjab and P1899 & P1891 in UP, MP and Bihar.

Seed should be planted by hand, dibbling or seed drill machine by maintaining appropriate row to row and plant to plant distance. To maintain 32000 plant population per acre and for same plant population below is the row to row and plant to plant distances:
  • If row to row spacing is 60 cm, keep plant to plant distance 20 cm.
  • If the row to row spacing is 45 cm - then keep seed to seed distance at 25 cm.
  • Keep in mind that 8 to 9 Kg of seed is required per each acre you want to plant.
Apply 35 Kg urea + 75-100 Kg dap + 30-35 Kg mop + 10 Kg zinc as basal application at the time of sowing.

To protect plants from early on from insects and pests, plant Pioneer Lumigen brand seeds (Lumigen CT seeds).

For good germination - take up sowing at optimum moisture.

3. Vegetative Phase

Pioneer Corn Seeds

Phase 01

No of Days: 15 to 30 days
Stage: Seedling Stage (V4 to V6 Stage)
Description
Early Insect Control: Corn crop requires proper early insect pests, mainly Fall Armyworm, to avoid loss of plants and yield. The estimated damage due to early insect pests in corn is estimated to be up to 15%-20%, even higher under severity, which is a direct loss of plants leading to reduced population and, in turn, the yield.

For fffective control of Fall Armyworms, spray Delegate (Spinetoram) on a day between 15 to 20 at the rate of 100 ml/acre in 200 litres of water.

Repeat the spray @ 25 to 30 days at the rate 100 ml/acre in 200 liters of water

Irrigation: At V2-V3 stage, almost 18-22 days after sowing, which is required to establish seedling.

Phase 02

No of Days: 30 to 35 days
Stage: Knee Height Stage (V6 to V8 Stage)
Description
Knee high stage is one of the critical stage for Water/Fertilizer management. Insufficient moisture at this stage may lead to poor cob & tassel formation and results in to yield loss. Ensure proper moisture through irrigation at this stage.

Irrigation: At V6-V8 stage, almost 30-35 days after sowing, this critical stage as cob formation starts at this period.

Fertilizer: Followed by irrigation need to apply about 50kg Urea/ac

For effective control of Fall Armyworm: If FAW infestation still exits, then spray Delegate (Spinetoram) at 15 to 20 days at the rate of 100 ml/acre in 200 liters of water.

Phase 03

No of Days:50 to 60 days
Stage: Booting stage
Description
Booting stage is important (before emerging out of tassels 5-6 days before) and at this stage you need to apply the last application of Fertilizer doses with optimum moisture. If the plot is dry then you need to apply irrigation and then after 24 hours you need to apply fertilizer.

Application of Urea 35-50 kg/ac (50 kg/ac in case of stunted growth and/or light green plant color otherwise 35 kg/ac sufficient) along with MOP 20-25kg/ac.

4. Reproductive Stage

Pioneer Corn Seeds

Phase 01

No of Days: 60- 70 Days
Stage: Flowering/Pollination stage (R1 Silk to R2 Blister)
Description
As per hybrid maturity there is 5 to 10 days variation of this stage, this stage is very critical for moisture if there is gap in maintaining moisture during this stage, pollination is highly affected under high heat/temperature condition which leads poor grain setting and huge yield loss. at this stage need to maintain moisture and provide irrigating timely. at this stage within 5-7 days 2 irrigations may be required

Phase 02

No of Days: 70-85 Days
Stage: Milk/ grain filling - Dough Stage (R3 Milk to R4 Dough)
Description
Grain filling to soft dough stages need moisture for milk filling in grains, Water serves as medium of transportation and also ingradient of milk. At this stage maintaining moisture is important for grain weight and grain quality. If there is gap in irrigation at this stage then it results in to low weight grain & poor grain quality (shrinking of grains) with huge yield loss. almost 2 irrigations may be required at grain filling period.

Phase 03

No of Days: 85 to 95 days
Stage: Dent Stage (R5 Stage)
Description
Hard dough stage is followed by dent stage- at this stage grain starts drying and this is the stage when irrigation shoiuld be stopped.

5. Physiological Maturity

Pioneer Corn Seeds

No of Days: 95 to 110 days
Stage: Maturity/Harvesting (R6)
Description
Right time harvesting Stage - at the physical maturity (R6 stage) black layer (hard) is visible at grain's tip/nose (that shows stoppage of milk filling in grain). For obtaining high yield with good quality grains, crop should be harvested at this stage where grain moisture is also reduced (20-25%).

If harvesting done before R6 stage then premature harvesting results yield loss, poor grain quality with shrinking & bad grain color. storability is also affected as moistened grains easily infected with fungus.

Tips to Improve Corn Crop Yield

  1. Selecting the Right and Best Hybrid Seeds

    Selecting the right hybrid seed to sustain various conditions.

  2. Plant the Right Number of Crops

    For the best yield, it is essential that you plant the right number of crops.

  3. Irrigation

    For maximum/best yield optimum irrigation is required.

  4. Using Fertilizers

    To maintain optimum soil conditions, at the time of seeding fertilizing the corn is very important.

  5. Weed Control

    Prevention of weeds must take place for good yield.

  6. Pest Control

    Preventing pest infestation is important for good crop and yield.

  7. Diseases Prevention

    Crops should remain diseases free for optimum yield.

  8. Harvesting and Storage

    When the corn kernels have the right moisture i.e., 20-25% the crop is ready to be harvested.
