| CULTURE | Planting in cold soil risks poor germination. Plant untreated seeds when soil is warm, at least 65°F (18°C). Plant treated seed when soil temperature is at least 60°F (16°C). Only treated seeds of good cold-germinating varieties may be sown in 55°F (13°C) soil and only if warmer weather is anticipated. Floating row covers may be used on early plantings to help moderate soil temperature. |
| ISOLATION REQUIREMENTS | Extensive crossing of super sweet varieties with non-super sweet varieties will cause tough, starchy kernels in both types. If you plan to grow both super sweet and non-super sweet varieties, avoid cross-pollination using any one of the following three options: 1) Plant super sweet varieties at least 300 feet from non-super sweet varieties, or 2) Stagger plantings by a 12-day planting date difference and separate each planting by 25 feet, or 3) Plant varieties that will mature at least 12 days apart and separate each planting by 25 feet. |
| PLANTING | Sow 3/4–1" deep, 6–7" apart (or 2 seeds every 9", thinning to 1 plant), rows 30–36" apart. Increase this rate for untreated seeds. Arrange in blocks of at least 4 rows for proper pollination, which is needed for well-filled ears. Successive plantings can be made through early summer; most growers prefer to extend the sweet corn season by planting a few varieties of different maturities. |
| INSECT PESTS | Consult your local Extension office for Integrated Pest Management information. Reduce insect pests in the next corn crop by prompt plowing-in or removal and composting of cornstalks after harvest. |
| HARVEST | When kernels are full and sweet, generally indicated by a drying and browning of the ear silks. Record the date on which about half the plants show silk. Corn is ready to eat 18–24 days after ear silks first show; the warmer the weather, the sooner you can pick it. |
| DAYS TO MATURITY | Varies widely with weather conditions and planting dates. Use these figures to compare one variety to another, not to accurately predict maturity on a given day. |
| AVG. SEEDING RATE | 1M/500', 5M/2,500', 25M/12,500', 30M/acre at 2 seeds/ft. in rows 36" apart. |
| SEED SPECS | SEEDS/LB.: Avg. 2,700, su/se/synergistic type; Avg. 2,900 super sweet. |
| PACKET | 150 seeds, sows 75' at 2 seeds/ft. |
