Growing Guide & Key Requirements

Planting Time: Sow after the last frost when soil temperatures have warmed to at least 15°C (60°F). Corn is a warm-season crop.

Planting Method:

• Sow directly into the garden soil. Corn does not transplant well.
• Spacing: Plant seeds 2.5-4 cm (1-1.5 inches) deep.
• Layout: Plant in blocks, not single rows. This is crucial for proper wind pollination. A block should be at least 4 rows wide.
• Row Spacing: 30-40 cm (12-16 inches) apart.
• Plant Spacing: 20-25 cm (8-10 inches) apart within the row.

Isolation Requirement: CRITICAL FOR SWEET CORN.

• To maintain its sweet flavor, it must be isolated from other types of corn (especially field corn or popcorn) and from different sugar-type sweet corns (like standard sugary (su) types) by at least 250 meters, or by planting so that their tasseling times are at least 14 days apart. Otherwise, cross-pollination will cause starchy, tough kernels.

Care:

• Watering: Consistent moisture is vital, especially during tasseling, silking, and ear development.
• Fertilization: It is a heavy feeder. Use a balanced fertilizer or one higher in Nitrogen at planting, and side-dress with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer when plants are about knee-high.

Importance & Benefits:

1. Produces sweet, tender cobs ideal for fresh consumption or processing.
2. Offers excellent shelf life and market appeal.
3. Adapted to various soil and climate conditions.
4. Ensures high yield and farmer profitability.

Precautions:

1. Store seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
2. Do not overwater during early stages to avoid seed rot.
3. Use only recommended planting density to maximize yield.
