How many seedlings of glutinous corn per acre of land

Glutinous corn is generally planted with 3000-4000 seedlings per mu of land, and the actual planting density is affected by factors such as variety characteristics, soil fertility, climatic conditions, cultivation methods, and management levels. The planting density of glutinous corn should be adjusted according to the characteristics of the variety. Early maturing varieties with compact plant types can be planted densely, while late maturing varieties with tall plant types need to reduce the number of plants to avoid crowding. Land with higher soil fertility can increase the number of plants, while land with lower fertility needs to reduce density to ensure nutrient supply per plant. In humid areas, planting can be appropriately dense, while in arid areas, the number of plants should be reduced to reduce water competition. When using mechanized sowing, the spacing between plants can be evenly controlled, and when manually sowing, attention should be paid to leaving enough growth space. Fine management, such as reasonable fertilization and timely weeding, can support high-density planting, while extensive management requires reducing density and minimizing the risk of pests and diseases. When planting glutinous corn, it is recommended to follow the guidance of the local agricultural technology department, select suitable varieties and densities, regularly monitor plant growth, and adjust water and fertilizer management. Pay attention to crop rotation to avoid continuous cropping obstacles, timely prevent and control diseases and pests, control water before harvest to promote full grain, which can improve yield and quality.
