Corn in Yucatán is grown in two general production systems. nerals: 1. Uniculture or single cultivation, and 2. Multiculture or cultivation associated with beans and pumpkin. In addition to this classification that already implicitly raises the need to design specific methodologies for each system, Much of the soil in which corn is grown is stony, so that within the crop plots themselves sometimes There is no soil in areas of certain consideration, up to 1 or 2 square meters.
