Sweet Corn & Popcorn
Sweet corn is a warm season crop which performs best in fertile, well drained soils. Sow seed into warm soils for best emergence,
especially for untreated varieties. Because sweet corn is wind pollinated, grow in blocks of four or more rows for best pollination.
Seeding: Seed 10-15 lbs/acre or 1lb/1000’. Plant 1 -1 1/2” deep. • Row width: 30”-36”, seed spacing: 8”-12” • Min. soil temperature: 55-60° F (treated), 65-70° F (untreated)
Isolation: Isolate all su, se, and synergistic varieties from super sweets (sh2) • By distance (garden: 25-75 ft, acreage: 250 ft) • By time (plant at 12-14 day intervals)
Harvest: Harvest when kernels are milky plump, about 18-24 days after silks emerge. Heat accelerates development, so monitor closely in hot weather.
