Does salt make corn grow faster?

Salt can actually inhibit the growth of corn if applied in large amounts.

Corn is relatively tolerant to salt, but excessive amounts can cause the plants to become stunted, yellow, and may even die. Salt can also interfere with the plant's ability to take up water and nutrients, which can also lead to stunted growth.

A moderate amount of salt can actually be beneficial for corn growth. It can help the plant to tolerate drought and other stresses, and can also help to improve the quality of the grain. However, too much salt can be detrimental, so it is important to use salt in moderation when fertilizing corn.
