The need for corn continues to increase, both for food and feed. At this time the proportion of corn for feed industry needs has reached 50% of national demand. It is associated with the growing cattle business, especially poultry. Meanwhile, the domestic maize production has not been able to meet that deficiency imported. Judging from the potential resources, Indonesia is actually capable berswasemda corn and even able to also be a supplier in the world market. To realize it required a variety of support, both technology and investment and policy. Sentra corn production is dominated in Java, which is about 65%, and outside Java, only about 35%. Though land outside Java is still wide open. Until now, the production of maize in the country has not been able to meet so most are imported from overseas manufacturers. Whereas in 2001 the government has been promoting a program known as Gema Palagung (Independent Movement Rice, Soybeans, and Corn). Although farmers with the program could spur farmers to increase productivity and production of maize in the country, but the needs of the domestic corn remains unmet.
Corn plants are included in the family of grasses by species Zea mays L. In general, the classification and systematics of maize as follows:
Rooted plants, including corn fiber that consists of three types of roots, the seminal roots, adventitious roots and aerial roots. Radicle growth of seminal roots and embryos. Adventitious roots called root tunjang. These roots grow from the bottom of the book, which is about 4 cm below the soil surface. While the aerial roots are roots coming out of the bottom two or more books near the soil surface. Corn root development depending on the variety, soil fertility, soil and water conditions.
Corn stalks unbranched, cylindrical, and consists of several sections and book sections. In the book section will appear shoots that develop into cob. Plant height depending on variety and place corn planting, generally ranging from 60-300 cm.
Corn leaf lengthwise and out of the trunk of books. Total leaf consists of 8-48 helain, depending varioetasnya. The leaves consist of three parts, namely petal leaves, aloe leaves, and leaf blade. Petals usually wrap the stem leaves. Between the petals and leaves the tongue blade are called the ligula. Ligula is hairy and fat. Ligula function is to prevent water entry into the leaf sheath and stem.
Seed corn on the cob neat. In the cobs are 200-400 seeds. Corn kernels consist of three parts. The outermost is called the pericarp. The second part of the endosperm, which is the seed food reserves. Meanwhile, the most in the embryo or institutions. Almost all parts of the corn plant mamiliki economic value. In general, some of the benefits of corn plant parts are described as follows: 1. Stems and young leaves for animal feed. 2. Stems and older leaves (after harvest) for green manure or compost. 3. Stems and leaves dry for firewood. 4. Corn stalks for a trellis (pillar).
5. Cornstalk pulp (paper material). 6. Fruit and vegetable corn for food There are two kinds of corn grain processing, ie the processing of wet (wet milling) and dry (dry milling). In wet processing degerminasi methods used and the results obtained in the form of starch and corn oil as a primary outcome, while byproducts such as corn bran, soybean meal and corn cake corn institutions. In dry processing method is used degerminasi and without degerminasi. In the method degerminasi be obtained hull, germ endosperm, grits, flakes, meal, flour, oil, and feed. While the method without degerminasi be obtained oily byproduct of flour and hull and germ as fodder.
