Sweet large corn is one of the favorite dishes of almost every person, a kind pleasant memory from childhood, especially intensifying at the beginning summer season. This popular plant, originally from America, was cultivated in ancient times by the ancient Mayans and Aztecs.
Corn - the slender queen of the fields
On an industrial scale, this crop is grown mainly for feed purposes, but it has adequately found its niche in many country and garden plots, where corn varieties are presented in all their diversity. Moreover home growing significantly “cultivated” the tall beauty, depriving her of the ability to self-sow and grow in her former, wild state.
Now this crop is monoecious, has separate inflorescences and is cross-pollinated. Some gardeners use artificial pollination - for this they pick off the spikelets at the top of the stem ( male flowers) and shake them over the flowering cobs (female flowers).
Description and external characteristics
Soil fertility plays a huge role in obtaining a rich and high-quality harvest, so fertilizing (organic and mineral) is required. During the autumn digging, rotted manure can be added to the ground and in the spring, the area before planting is pre-leveled with a rake (to remove the surface crust and break up lumps of earth).
Corn should be planted in soil heated to 12 o C, this occurs around the end of April; the seeds are sown to a depth of about 7 cm. On the eve of planting, about a day in advance, it is recommended to add (per 10 m2 - 200 grams) and loosen the soil to a depth of 10 cm.
Seed germination can be accelerated by pre-soaking them in warm water. To do this, they should be placed in a gauze bag, which should be placed on the sunny place, and then place it in a solution of potassium permanganate for 20 minutes. Then the seeds should be washed, placed in a container and placed in a warm place. After 3-4 days, small roots will appear, that’s when the seeds can be planted in open ground. IN field conditions The first shoots will appear on about the 12th day.
Many amateur gardeners, in order to get a harvest in a short time, plant ready seedlings corn, which is usually 30 days old when planted.
It is required to produce in rows, the distance between rows is 60 cm, between plants - 40 cm. The seeds are planted to a depth of 3-4 cm in a well-watered hole. Of the emerging seedlings, of which there may be several (since several seeds are placed in a hole to ensure their germination), the strongest plant should be left, the rest should be disposed of.
When you can use the conveyor method, that is, plants with for different periods When maturing, plant them at intervals of 15 days. This will ensure continuous harvesting throughout the summer.
Plant nutrition
Corn should be fertilized when the plant has six leaves. During this period, you can add compost, humus, mullein, chicken droppings. In addition to organic matter, it is applied in liquid form to the inter-row spaces. ammonium nitrate, superphosphate and potash fertilizers.
The lack of microelements required by the plant can be determined by appearance corn. With short stature and pallor of the leaves, there is a lack of nitrogen; If in the early stages of plant development there is slow growth and the edges of the leaves acquire a purple tint, it means that the crop does not have enough phosphorus. Abnormal waviness of leaves and changes in their color (from pale to dark brown) indicate a lack of potassium.
Features of care
After planting, corn growth is slow for some time, so it is necessary to carry out loosening and weeding (about 3 times during the growing season) in order to enrich the soil with oxygen and remove the top soil crust. Intensive growth of corn begins after the appearance of the eighth leaf; during this period, the daily growth can be 5-6 cm. When side shoots - stepsons - form in corn, the latter should be cut off so that they do not interfere with the development of young cobs and the growth of the plant. The reasons for the formation of unwanted side shoots may be low temperatures on early stages growing season, applying excessive amounts of fertilizers, as well as sparse sowing.
Watering corn, infrequently and abundantly (water should penetrate to a depth of 10-15 cm), must be carried out during the period of laying and ripening of young ears.
What varieties of corn do you know? Perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is the much-touted Bonduelle sweet corn. However, this variety simply does not exist in nature; this is a lucky marketing ploy– Russians are very fond of sweet large corn, sold under the brand of the same name. In fact, those seeds that market sellers call "Bonduelle" are different varieties and sweet corn hybrids. For example, the Bonduelle company itself uses foreign varieties such as Bonus, Spirit, etc. in the production of canned food.

It’s not for nothing that corn is called one of the “breads” of the world. It was like that for the Indians of Central America until they became acquainted with wheat, rye and rice. Corn was known in the New World twelve thousand years ago. And with the discovery of America by Columbus, this cereal became popular among Europeans. Corn adapts well to new conditions. It is unpretentious to grow and produces many new varieties. Therefore, it is not surprising that this cereal is now grown all over the world - from the subtropics to the subpolar regions. And finding canned corn on sale is not a problem now. Store shelves are filled with this product, produced by various companies. Why, out of all the diversity market supply Should I give preference to Bonduelle corn? We will talk about this in our article.

Cereal in cooking
Maize has only been known to Europeans for a few centuries. But corn dishes have become firmly established national cuisines different nations. Italian palenta, Romanian mamalyga, Hutsul banosh - all these dishes are prepared on the basis of ground maize. Cornmeal makes excellent bread and tortillas. The cake of this plant is a good feed for livestock. Young corn kernels are sweetish. As it matures, the sugar content disappears. The grain becomes more mealy. Then they make cereal and flour from it. But Bonduelle corn is always young. For canning, only soft, sweetish grains are taken. You can prepare a variety of dishes from them - soups, vegetable side dishes. It should be said that canned corn is a completely ready-to-eat product. And therefore its main purpose is to be an ingredient in salads. But the use of canned corn does not end there. It can be a component of pizza and complex sandwiches.
Why Bonduelle?
As we already mentioned, corn, due to its unpretentiousness, became a common cereal on the Old Continent. Buying its grains, including canned ones, is not a problem - they are sold in every grocery store. What makes Bonduelle corn stand out from other brands? To do this, you need to know the history of the brand. The Bonduelle company was founded back in 1853 in the north of France. At first it produced juniper liqueurs. But in 1926, the descendants of Louis Bonduelle, the founder of the company, Benoit and Pierre decided to change the profile of production and began canning vegetables. They started with green peas. Then the company began producing canned mushrooms and other vegetables. After the war, increased production also established freezing of food. By the eighties of the last century, the Bonduelle brand became known abroad. Now its products are sold in 80 countries around the world. In 2004, the company opened its plant in Krasnodar region in Russia.

Why is the brand so superior to its competitors? It's not just about conservation skill. Although technological process plays an important role here. Vacuum packaging allows the grains to completely preserve the composition of vitamins and beneficial minerals. Compare canned food from other companies and Bonduelle corn.

The company selects only the best varieties of corn for its canned food and does not use nitrates, pesticides or GMOs. On Russian market There are two types of canned maize. The first one is called "Corn in Beans". This product is preferable because the jar only contains what it says on the label. No water, vinegar, salt or sugar.

The calorie content of this product is higher - 115 units.

At the moment, about 520 varieties and hybrids of corn are officially registered in Russia, which, depending on the composition of the grains, their shape, and taste, are divided into several varieties:
- Dental corn. The most common in Russia, it is used mainly for industrial purposes, as it has all the qualities necessary for this. Its main difference is the starch content in the grains up to 75%. It is characterized by high glassiness and minimal mealiness. As a rule, it contains up to 5% vegetable fat and up to 10% proteins, due to which it is used as feed for raising cattle, pigs and other animals. The highest yield per hectare is 150 c/ha, but this figure can only be achieved with early planting in the spring.
- Sweet corn (aka sugar corn). It is also used for industrial purposes, but not for feeding animals, but for pickling and seaming. It has a relatively high concentration of sugar (the percentage depends on the growing conditions), is nutritious, contains up to 75% carbohydrates and up to 20% proteins, it contains much less fat than in tooth-shaped hybrids - no more than 5-7%. It can be distinguished by its characteristic wrinkled grain; when it is broken, a characteristic shine can be observed. Bonduelle corn (line of varieties) is grown today in almost all countries of the world, and Russia ranks 2nd in its export to European countries.
- Siliceous. Not in such great demand in industry due to its relatively low high yield– up to 60-70 c/ha. But it has many advantages, in particular good resistance to frost and shedding - it can be removed even after the onset of frost. It has a strong stem, does not lie down and is not susceptible to many diseases that are characteristic of cobs. Resistant to powdery mildew, rot, fungal diseases. Starch can make up up to 85% of the grain's weight, making it ideal as animal feed. Protein content – up to 15%, fat – 4-5%.
- Waxy. A rare variety that occupies only 5-6% of all crops of this crop in the Russian Federation. Its peculiarity is the huge percentage of starch - up to 95%, and it is 100% amylopectin. The grain has a characteristic waxy shape and color, the skin is very thin and smooth. As a rule, it is used as a dietary supplement for many animals, it is very nutritious and healthy.
- Starchy. In our country it is practically not grown, since it has not found its application in industry. It is poorly preserved after collection and is susceptible to many diseases. Due to the fact that outer shell is practically absent, mechanical harvesting is very difficult and most of the cobs are damaged. Starch no more than 80%, proteins and fats 7-8%.
- Bursting. The most popular variety, which is known to everyone, since it is difficult to find a person who has not yet eaten popcorn and various sweets made from puffed corn kernels. All confectionery, which are made on a corn basis, are made specifically from bursting varieties, of which there are more than 8 dozen today. The starch content, as a rule, does not exceed 65%, and the protein content does not exceed 11-13%.
Some breeders distinguish several more varieties, but they are not included in the register, and therefore are not recommended for cultivation in Russia. Separately, as a type of plant, there is an ornamental one - not suitable for consumption, but has a very beautiful view.
Dentic and flint varieties and hybrids
Feed corn is one of the main agricultural plants, the turnover of which is measured in millions of tons. Due to its high yield and ease of cultivation, it exists in the crop rotation of every farmer or simple summer resident. Young cobs are suitable for cooking and have a good taste, and the grain is stored long time and is a very healthy and nutritious food for animals. Cereals, porridges and other food products are made from it. Let's consider the best varieties recommended for cultivation in our climate zone.
- Pioneer. For several years in a row, corn seeds Pioneer are considered the best among siliceous hybrids and show excellent results in all breeding areas. The main advantage is precisely the yield, and at any weather conditions. Even without irrigation, getting up to 60 c/ha will not be difficult. The only drawback is the high cost of a sowing unit, which fluctuates around 4000-5000 rubles per 1 unit. (enough for 2.2 hectares). Resistance to frost is another important advantage, since the seedlings can withstand temperatures of minus 2-5 0 C, and at the stage of technical ripeness, corn is not afraid of even severe frosts - it does not crumble or break on the stem. Corn Pioneer not suitable for country cultivation, since the cobs are not very sweet and do not have the best taste. It is used primarily for sale as grain or as animal feed.
- Syngenta. Originally corn Syngenta was grown in Austria, but over time was acclimatized in the middle latitudes of Russia and began to produce decent harvests, on average 70-80 c/ha, for which it has gained great popularity among many farmers. The grain has a tooth-like shape, is rich in nutrients and is an excellent raw material for the production of cereals and animal feed. Technical ripeness of the fruit occurs 64-76 days after planting, then the plant is allowed to dry for another 2 weeks and harvested for grain. When harvesting in heads of cabbage, you can harvest immediately after the fruit reaches technical ripeness.
- Spirit. One of best hybrids, which has good yield (up to 140 c/ha in breeding plots in the Moscow region) and resistance to diseases. Corn Spirit withstands any treatment with fungicides and pesticides against weeds quite well. Thus, all known dicotyledonous weeds are destroyed, and the plant grows without “competitors”. The cost of caring for it is minimal. It is also worth noting that corn is not attacked by pests and fungi, for which many gardeners liked it.
- Ulyanovskaya. Common corn is not particularly different from other siliceous species, but the cost of a sowing unit is 3-4 times less than Pioneer, For example. Many farmers plant it precisely for this quality, and the yield of 60-70 c/ha more than meets expectations from such a simple variety of domestic selection. Not resistant to diseases, but standard processing fungicide and weed pesticides, there are never any problems with its cultivation and subsequent storage.
Serrated and flinty vegetables have good yields and many nutrients, but their greatest advantage is versatility. They can be grown for grain and at the same time, in the stage of waxy ripeness of the seeds, very tasty and nutritious boiled cobs!
