Maize

Maize (corn) is a versatile, globally significant cereal crop cultivated from temperate to tropical regions, with top production in the USA, China, and India. It serves as a vital source of food, feed, and industrial products. Thriving in 15°C to 30°C, it requires well-drained soil, regular irrigation, and nitrogen-rich nutrients, particularly around the crucial flowering (tasseling) stage.
