Fresh-eating corn, as a crop of significant economic value, has seen its cultivated area expand globally in recent years. High-efficiency cultivation techniques are crucial for enhancing the yield and quality of fresh-eating corn while ensuring the efficient use of resources. This review systematically summarizes the growth characteristics of fresh-eating corn and the technical requirements for its high-efficiency cultivation. It focuses on key cultivation practices, including variety selection, sowing density, water and fertilizer management, and pest and disease control. Additionally, it explores the application of precision agriculture technologies in fresh-eating corn cultivation, such as precision irrigation and fertilization, and environmental monitoring based on big data. This manuscript also compares different cultivation models, such as single-season versus multi-season planting and greenhouse versus open-field cultivation, analyzing their regional adaptability and promotion strategies. The review highlights the contributions of high-efficiency cultivation techniques to soil health and eco-friendly agriculture. The study suggests that integrating multi-omics data with intelligent management technologies can further optimize cultivation practices and improve production efficiency in the future. This review provides theoretical support and practical guidance for advancing the high-efficiency production and sustainable development of fresh-eating corn.
