In agricultural production, corn grass is a very important crop, it can be used not only as fodder for livestock, but also as food for humans**. Knowing the right method and time to grow corn grass is very important to improve yield and quality.
First, the planting method.
1.Land selection and land preparation.
Choose a plot with flat terrain, deep soil, loose soil, medium fertility and good drainage, and carry out deep tillage, which is conducive to the growth of maize grass.
2.Sow.

It should be noted that the exact planting time is also determined according to the local climatic conditions and soil conditions.
In conclusion, it is very important to know the correct method and time of corn straw planting to improve yield and quality. In the process of planting, it is necessary to pay attention to the work of land selection, fertilization, irrigation, weeding and pest control to ensure the normal growth of corn grass. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to choosing a suitable planting time to make full use of climatic resources and improve the yield and quality of corn grass.
