Abstract

Corn is an annual plant from the sub-group of millet grains. In Macedonia, there are relatively good soil and climate conditions for its production. It is the third cereal crop in terms of representation on arable land, after wheat and barley. In 2021, 130 769 tons of corn were produced. The total annual production of wheat, barley and corn grain in 2021 was 526 045 tons. Of the other cereal plants, rye, rice and oats are produced in much smaller quantities. These quantities of domestically produced corn do not meet domestic demand.
Taking into account the agrotechnical measures applied in the production of corn and the soil-climatic conditions that prevail in Macedonia, this article gives a special review of the problems faced by this production, as well as the possibilities and measures for its production without interventional irrigation.
