Corn occupies a key place in modern crop production due to its high productivity and versatility of use. For agronomists and industry specialists, understanding the biological characteristics of this crop, its role in crop rotation, and effective methods of plant protection against pests, such as the European corn borer, is the foundation for obtaining stable yields. Of particular importance is the adoption of progressive technologies, including growing mixed crops with sunflower and using modern herbicide systems for weed control.

This collection of materials covers the full cycle of working with the crop: from fundamental agrotechnical principles to practical solutions for plant protection. Readers will find expert recommendations on the application of herbicides, the planning of tillage systems, and the management of irrigation using structured databases. In addition, the collection presents current information on the use of corn in forage production, which allows for linking crop production issues with effective livestock farming, including the calculation of balanced feeding rations and compliance with state feed quality standards.
