Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation

• No specific preparation is required. Store seeds in a cool, dry place before planting.

Sowing

• Best Time to Plant: After the last frost, when soil temperature is consistently above 60°F (15°C).
• Planting Depth: 1–2 inches deep in well-prepared soil.
• Spacing:
  • Between Seeds: 8–12 inches apart for proper growth.
  • Between Rows: 30–36 inches apart to allow space for pollination.

Germination

• Seeds typically sprout within 7–10 days under optimal conditions.
• Keep soil evenly moist but avoid overwatering.

Transplanting

• Not recommended, as corn roots are sensitive to disturbance. Direct sowing is ideal for best results.

Care & Maintenance

• Watering: Provide about 1 inch of water per week, increasing moisture during tasseling and ear development.
• Fertilization: Apply nitrogen-rich fertilizer (such as 10-10-10 or compost) at planting and again when plants reach 12 inches tall.
• Mulching: Helps retain moisture and control weeds.
• Pest & Disease Control: Corn borers, cutworms, and earworms can be deterred using crop rotation and organic insecticides if needed.
• Weed Management: Roundup Ready Corn is resistant to glyphosate-based herbicides, allowing for easy weed control with Roundup applications.

Harvesting & Storage

How to Harvest Corn

• Harvest Time: Typically 70–100 days after planting, depending on variety and climate.
• Signs of Readiness:
  • Ears feel firm and full.
  • Kernels are plump and release a milky liquid when punctured.
  • Silks turn brown and dry while husks remain green.
• Harvest Method:
  • For fresh corn, twist and pull ears from the stalk.
  • For dried grain or silage, allow ears to fully dry on the plant before cutting.

Storage Tips

• Fresh Corn: Use within 1–2 days for the best sweetness. Store in the refrigerator with husks intact.
• Dried Corn (for grain/silage): Air-dry ears in a well-ventilated space before shelling and storing.
• Freezing: Blanch kernels before freezing for long-term storage.
