Corn For Plantings

of May 2024

  1. Product Highlights
    • Direct sow in late spring. if the soil is not warm enough, seeds often rot before sprouting – especially when not treated with fungicide. untreated corn seeds should be planted only when the soil has warmed up above 18°c (65°f) – warmer for super-sweet (sh2) types, and even warmer for a good stand. use a soil thermometer. if spring weather is cold, consider planting in ...
    • Corn is a heavy feeder, so add manure or compost, and use 500g (1 lb) of complete organic fertilizer per 6m (60′) of row, mixing it thoroughly into the soil beneath each seed furrow. thin to at least 20-25cm (8-10″) apart in the row. large eared and double-eared varieties need to be 30cm (24″) apart. keep free of weeds until knee-high, and then leave it alone.
    • Summertime and corn on the cob go together. nothing tastes better than just-picked sweet corn! 'sugarbaby' is a bicolor corn that matures in 65 days—an advantage in areas with a shorter growing season. flavorful, 8" ears with 12–16 rows of very tender kernels hold their sweetness and flavor longer than other varieties. good cool weather endurance.
    • Do not soak corn seeds prior to planting. plant 2-5cm (1-2″) deep (shallower for sh2 seed or in cool soil). sow seeds around 7.5cm (3″) apart, in rows 60-90cm (24-36″) apart. because corn is wind pollinated, plant in a dense block of at least 4 rows, rather than in single rows. this increases the chance of corn pollen, which emerges from male flowers at the growing tip,...
    • 65 days to harvest. in optimal conditions at least 85% of seeds will germinate. usual seed life: 2 years. when the silks at the end of an ear are a dry brown, the cob seems to start to droop, and the kernels release milky juice when cut.
