Cultivation of kafir corn 



The cultivation should be the same as for corn, 

 frequent and shallow, rather than deep and infre- 

 quent. Harrowing early is almost indispensable in 

 order to keep down weeds. After the plants are 

 three inches high, they will stand almost any 

 amount of harrowing and this may be continued 

 until eight inches high.
