[0002] The temperature suitable for corn growth is generally between 20 and 30°C. It requires sufficient light and sunshine, annual precipitation between 600 mm and 1000 mm, and relative humidity between 75% and 85%. Corn likes a humid environment, but it cannot be too humid. The groundwater level should be low and the soil moisture content should be maintained at around 70%. Most of my country's main corn planting areas are located in semi-arid areas, which cannot meet the germination conditions, resulting in a decrease in seed germination rate and affecting yield. At present, in the experimental process of hydroponic treatment of corn seeds, corn seeds must first germinate and grow roots in a dark environment before being transferred again. In addition, corn seeds are larger than other crop seeds and cannot be placed in hydroponic plant boxes. When the plants grow, the pH of the nutrient solution needs to be measured, and the temperature and humidity of the seedlings need to be monitored in real time during growth. These experimental steps cannot be carried out at the same time, which complicates the experimental process, and the hydroponic nutrient solution cannot be quickly discharged when processing, affecting the efficiency of the experiment.
