The invention relates to a planting method for using mulch on a corn field to collect rainwater and a perforator. In corn planting, lines are spread or lime lines (composite belts) are marked at intervals of 140cm; two fertilizing ditches are dug on two sides of each line; chemical fertilizer and farm manure are spread into the ditches; the ditches are covered with thin soil; the soil is then wetted with water before mulch is spread; after the mulch is set, the perforator is used to perforate the mulch at the center lines of the fertilizing ditches; one to two seeds are sowed into each hole; and after sowing, the holes are covered with fine soil. Therefore, ditch faces are lower than ridge faces, rainwater dropping to the ridge faces can flow into the soil along the mulch holes during raining, the rainwater can be stored in the soil around the corn seeds, and required sprouting water of the seeds is guaranteed effectively. When the seeds sprout, seedlings grow out of the holes, and mature corn plants are neat in plant spacing and row spacing, so that farm work, such as intertillage management, ventilation, fertilizing and the like, is facilitated. Corn can be provided with conditions required for normal sprouting, seedling emergence and growth even in arid climate, and accordingly high corn yield is guaranteed.
