How to Achieve a Million Tons of Corn on a piece of Land [Food security]

Показать описание
Maize or corn is widely cultivated and consumed globally and a greater weight of maize is produced each year than any other grain. Increasing demand and production shortfalls in global maize supplies have worsened market volatility and contributed to surging global maize prices. There is a success in achieving a million tons of corn to overcome food security issues.
Some of the techniques employed are;

1.Good land preparation (done in the wet season prior to the beginning of the dry season for efficient control of weeds)
2. Good planting distance, high density and good corn variety (Variety; GSO 308 from Israel. One seed per hill planting, 150cm between drips and each drip had two rows of corn spaced 60cm apart.)

3. Drip irrigation

4. Pests and diseases control

5. Fertilization( fertigation)

6. Timely harvest

Two techniques were employed in making the farm so clean. 1. Spraying the field with pre-germination selective herbicides like Lagon. Lagon, when employed in corn production is effective in controlling weeds in corn. 2. The corn were planted in the summer where there's no way except via irrigation. However, since drip irrigation was employed, this denied the remaining wees seeds access to adequate moisture for them to function well.
