The planting area of ​​corn in my country is second only to wheat and rice.

The planting area of ​​corn in my country is second only to wheat and rice. It is the third largest grain crop in my country and an important source of economic income in rural areas in my country. Corn growth is greatly affected by moisture and soil conditions, especially in arid areas, where a large amount of salt is easily accumulated in the soil, forming a salt stress at the roots of corn, inhibiting corn growth and development. How to improve the germination rate of corn seeds and promote plant growth and development under salt stress conditions has become the focus of research.

Recently, Shandong Pengbo Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Shandong Yantai Agricultural Science Research Institute published an article entitled "The Effect of Plant Immune Induced Antibiotics on Salt Tolerance and Yield of Corn". The study found that Zhicong can enhance corn's salt tolerance. Under salt stress conditions, the application of Zhicong can promote corn growth and increase its yield. It can be promoted and applied as a new type of plant immune inducing antigen in the field.

 

Main research results
 

01. Intelligent Seed Soil can increase corn germination rate
Different concentrations of NaCl solution will significantly inhibit the germination of corn seeds. In the environment of 4~6 g/L NaCl solution, the smart crystal seed can significantly improve the germination rate of corn seeds, especially the 20 ng/ml smart crystal seeds have the best effect.

 

02. Promote corn root growth and enhance corn salt tolerance
4~6 g/L NaCl can significantly inhibit the growth of corn main roots. The length of corn roots in the intelligent soaking seed treatment should be longer than that of clean water soaking treatment, and the corn roots increase with the increase of intelligent soaking concentration. Smart Crystal seed treatment under salt-free stress conditions can significantly increase the number of corn lateral roots.

 

03. Increase corn yield
During the corn harvest period, 50 healthy fruit ears are harvested randomly in each community, and the fresh quality is weighed after peeling (field test part: 2 treatments are arranged in total, and the intelligent seed mixing is used during the corn sowing period. During the period of the big trumpet and the period of the draw, the intelligent conglomerate water will be sprayed with the leaf surface). The average yield of corn processed by Zhicong increased by 5.02% compared with the control, indicating that Zhicong has an effect on corn production increase.

 

The research results show that smart sewage treatment can alleviate or even eliminate the inhibitory effect of NaCl solution on corn seed germination and promote corn root growth. Use smart conglomerate seeds in the field and spray them twice during the big trumpet and the high-pigment period, which can effectively increase corn yield.
