Will corn kernels be damaged in hot weather?
The effects of high temperature on corn are as follows:
1, the growth period is shortened. Hot weather will accelerate the development of corn, for example, the female ear of corn is differentiating, and high temperature will make the floret of the female ear bloom less and the fruit of corn smaller. Not only can the corn yield not go up, but the quality of corn seeds will also decline! As soon as the merchants saw this kind of corn, they turned their heads and left.
2. Photosynthesis will also be affected. If exposed to high temperature continuously, it will soften the stems and leaves of maize, close the stomata above the plant and reduce photosynthesis. Corn can't absorb enough nutrients from soil and the outside world in time, but it needs to consume more energy to survive. After a long time, plants don't grow tall and corn doesn't grow well.
