NEMATODES Before spraying or applying any chemical make sure you have checked on its harvest interval, the withholding period and the re-entry period. Make sure you DO NOT spray any chemical which will leave a toxic residue in the plant after harvest. BEFORE SPRAYING ALWAYS READ THE CHEMICAL LABEL The soil applied insecticides given above will also control nematodes. However it is also worth applying 1 l/ha Nemablok® as a directed spray over the maize lines. 11. HARVEST The baby corn is harvested when it reaches the size wanted by the market. It is best to reap the corn in its sheath and then clean the baby corns at the pack shed. Sweet corn is harvested as soon as the cobs are mature enough for the market. Generally there is a specific size required so this does help. FARMERS GAZETTE November 2015 19
