Class A Tank - Irrigation in mini-corn cultivation

Baby corn (Zea mays L.) is the name given to young, unpollinated ears (spikelets) of any type of corn, before grain formation. It is a diversified product consisting of immature corn ears harvested before fertilisation. Irrigated baby corn is emerging as an economical alternative for family farming because it has a shorter cycle and offers the advantage of being harvested at the beginning of the reproductive phase, a period when there is greater demand for water for this crop. This is because climate instability, especially in terms of dry spells and insufficient rainfall in the off-season, has been resulting in low yields in the western region of Paraná.
