Corn is a warm season crop.

SOIL PREPARATION

Corn plants are best grown in full sun. The researchers came up with the first process in
soil preparation which is choosing the best location that will be needed for the corn (zea
mays) to grow. Corn plants need a well-drained soil enriched with plenty of organic
matter, therefore, the researcher selected the soil area in botanical garden. After
choosing the location needed, they start to clean the garden where the seeds are to be
planted on. They prepare and enrich the soil by weeding it thoroughly, digging it over to
loosen it and adding aged animal manure or compost. They keep the area free of
weeds until planting. After the soil was refined, the kernels are now ready for cultivation.
Corn seeds grow best when they are sown directly into the garden. The third step is to
prepare the garden soil to a depth of 1 inch and plant six corn seeds in a cluster. The
next step is lining up individual seeds 2 to 3 inches distant and spacing clusters apart in
rows. The last step taken is to firm down the kernels with the back of the hoe and water
well thoroughly to moisten the soil.

SEED

The first step taken in order to achieve particular end in corn planting is selecting the best kernel to be .
It is one of the most important aspects in cultivating. There were many factors the researchers looked
out on and therefore ended up in purchasing the Chia Tai brand in both magenta and in white seed corn.
The second step is the checking and preparing of the seed breeding. After the kernel was checked and
prepared, it is now ready for cultivation. The third process in seed preparation is to disperse the kernel.
The white and magenta seed kernel was placed into the top and bottom row of the area and planted at
the same time. On the other hand, the researchers made an experimental means where they planted
the magenta seed a week before the white kernel. It was planted at the mid-point sector.
