How to make fried corn in the pan?

Corn is the only species belonging to the genus Corn. It is a grassy and annual plant. It can grow up to three meters in height or even from 6 to 7 meters. It has four species, as well as three wild subspecies. Corn is considered the most ancient grain plant in the world. It is divided into nine botanical groups.

Corn is about 10 thousand years old as a crop. Found in the territory of modern southern Mexico, where it has been grown since ancient times. It is not only yellow, but even red or black.

Features

Corn is of several types:

  • sweet corn (the favorite of all agronomists);
  • dentate;
  • siliceous or indian;
  • starchy;
  • waxy;
  • bursting (divided into two types: barley and rice);
  • hemi-lip;
  • filmy;
  • starch sugar;
  • Japanese variegated.

Corn stalk reaches a height of up to seven centimeters in diameter. One of the main differences of this plant from other cereals is that it is hollow inside and contains parenchyma. The foliage of corn is large. Stamens and spikelets are collected in inflorescences. It has a long stigma. The growth and development of corn occurs from 90 to 200 days. Shoots appear after 11 days.

This plant loves warmly. Seeds will germinate at 10 degrees Celsius. For seedlings need a temperature of around 17 degrees Celsius.

IMPORTANT! Shoots withstand 5-6 degrees. For normal growth of corn need a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius. Only during the period of appearance of inlets can withstand heat and lack of moisture.

A huge damage can cause the plant: dry soil, hot weather, low humidity. A large amount of moisture is consumed about 10 days before spraying and 20 days after. Water requires three hundred kilograms to create one kilogram of dry matter.

On highly moist soils, the plant grows worse. Normal humidity is 70-80 percent. Corn requires a large amount of light, because it is best to plant on the southern slopes. You can not plant it too thick, because the corn does not like blackout.

Thanks to organic matter there will be a rich harvest. The most suitable soil is chernozem. Peaty soil is also suitable for corn, but on clay will grow poorly. The peculiarity of corn is that it is very demanding on the soil. If the soil is rich in acid, then it should be lime.
