CULTIVATION:-

Cholam is a 3-meter-tall grass that grows in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the hottest places in Mexico, India, Australia and the United States. It usually thrives in well-drained, well-ventilated, deep soil with adequate organic matter and nutrients. Maize has a single erect stem with branches - nodes and midrib. The leaves are alternate, with broad, sword-shaped blades. Although it is widely considered a vegetable, corn is actually a food grain. The leaf stalk of the plant provides ears, which contain grains/fruits called corn kernels.
