It is worth noting that the growth and pollination of corn, which is carried out by wind, requires a large space. Method and timing of planting: • Most varieties of Shami corn succeed in well-drained alluvial soil that ranges from slightly acidic to neutral. Shami corn also needs nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which, along with other nutrients, are generally added to the soil as chemical or organic fertilizers before plowing the soil, and at planting time or during plant growth. Many farmers follow crop rotation cycles that include planting crops like alfalfa, clover, soybeans, or wheat alternately with the corn crop. This crop rotation helps to restore some nutrients to the soil, combat soil erosion, and control weeds, pests, and diseases. • Planting usually begins in spring after plowing the soil. Seeds are planted at a depth of about 5 cm in rows spaced about 75 to 100 cm apart. Harvesting of Shami corn begins when the moisture content of mature grains drops to 28%, and in many areas, harvesting is done with a combine harvester that cuts the cobs from the stalks, removes the husks, shells, and cleans them in one process, then the grains are dried with hot air and stored in silos.
