Increasing corn productivity during pre-sowing seed treatment with acid-activated montmorillonite

In small-scale field experiments, the effect of pre-sowing seed treatment with montmorillonite K-10 on the yield of green corn mass was studied. Experiments in 2022 and 2023 showed an increase in the yield of green mass, including cobs, up to 50%. In the 2023 field season, experiments were conducted with 2 varieties of corn Phenomenon and Krasnodar 201 AMV. In both cases, the yields did not differ significantly. The results obtained create the prospect of widespread use of montmorillonite for pre-sowing seed treatment.
