With the increasing demand for food security and efficient agricultural development, the optimization of corn sowing technology has become an important means to improve yield and resource utilization efficiency as the world's main food crop. This study systematically reviews the development status and technical points of corn sowing methods, sowing density and row spacing configuration, sowing period control and intelligent sowing equipment, analyzes the adaptation mechanism of sowing parameters in different ecological regions, and explores the integrated application effect of sowing strategies through typical regionalized cases. Studies have shown that adjusting sowing technology according to local conditions not only significantly improves corn emergence rate and population structure, but also helps to achieve high yield, stable yield and sustainable development goals. This study hopes to provide theoretical support and technical reference for further innovation and practical promotion of corn sowing technology.
