Sowing Guidelines:

Outdoor Sowing:

• Direct sow after the last frost when soil temperatures reach at least 60-65°F (15-18°C).
• Plant seeds 1-1.5 inches deep in well-draining soil.
• Spacing:
  • Within Rows: 8-12 inches apart
  • Between Rows: 24-36 inches apart
  • Block Planting: For optimal pollination, plant in blocks of at least 4 rows instead of a single row.

Germination:

• Typically occurs within 7-14 days under ideal conditions.
• Keep soil evenly moist during germination.

Growing Conditions & Care:

• Sunlight: Full sun (6-8 hours per day).
• Soil Requirements: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter (pH 6.0-7.0).
• Watering: 1-1.5 inches per week, increasing during hot or dry spells.
• Fertilization:
  • Use a balanced fertilizer at planting.
  • Side-dress with nitrogen-rich fertilizer when plants reach 12 inches tall and again when tassels appear.
• Mulching: Helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Support: Usually not required, but taller varieties may benefit from wind protection.

Pollination Tips:

• Corn is wind-pollinated, so planting in blocks (not single rows) improves pollination and ear formation.
• To prevent cross-pollination with other corn varieties, separate plantings of different types by at least 250-300 feet or stagger planting times by 2+ weeks.

Pest & Disease Management:

• Watch for corn earworms, cutworms, aphids, and armyworms; use row covers or organic pest control if necessary.
• Rotate crops yearly to prevent soil-borne diseases like corn smut and rust.

Harvesting & Storage:

• Harvest when silks turn brown, and kernels are plump and release milky juice when pressed.
• Pick early in the morning for the best sweetness.
• Use fresh or refrigerate immediately; for long-term storage, blanch and freeze kernels.
