Features: Sweet corn is a rather unique crop. It is considered unique because the ears harvested at the milk stage can serve as both grain, fruit, and vegetable; they can be cooked, eaten raw, or processed into various canned products. Regular consumption of sweet corn is highly beneficial to human health, especially for the elderly and children. The green stalks and leaves after harvesting milk-stage ears are excellent feed for livestock and grass-fed fish, or can also be used as fertilizer. In many regions of China, sweet corn can be grown 2-4 times a year, making it a short, simple, and fast project for wealth creation.

It is suitable for farmers with a junior high school education or higher, as well as agricultural technicians, teachers and students of agricultural secondary schools, and students of agricultural colleges.
