Fresh-eating maize, as an important crop with both economic and nutritional value, holds a significant position in modern agriculture. This study systematically explores the key elements of the standardized cultivation system for fresh-eating maize, including ecological and environmental requirements, variety selection and adaptability, core cultivation techniques, and the construction and promotion of the system. In terms of ecological and environmental requirements, the study clarifies the basic conditions for fresh-eating maize growth, the impact of regional cultivation management, and refines the ecological needs and management priorities at different growth stages. For variety selection, the study analyzes the characteristics of common high-quality varieties and their regional adaptability screening methods, while proposing standardized selection criteria. Core cultivation techniques cover areas such as soil management, planting density, water and fertilizer regulation, and field growth control. Through case studies, the research evaluates the significant role of the standardized cultivation system in improving the yield and quality of fresh-eating maize and reveals the contributions of technology promotion to agricultural sustainability and industry scaling. The study further envisions the integration of green agriculture and intelligent technologies, sustainable development pathways, and future research priorities. This research provides scientific evidence and practical guidance to promote efficient and high-quality production of fresh-eating maize.
