Planting Instructions:

• Seed Preparation:

  • No special preparation required. However, soaking seeds in water for 12–24 hours before planting can help speed up germination.

• Sowing:

  • Plant seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F (16°C).
  • Sow seeds 1–2 inches deep and space them 8–12 inches apart in rows spaced 24–36 inches apart to ensure proper spacing and pollination.

• Germination:

  • Seeds typically germinate within 7–10 days under optimal conditions.
  • Maintain consistent moisture during the germination period to ensure good seedling establishment.

• Transplanting:

  • Sweetcorn is typically direct-seeded rather than transplanted.
  • If starting seeds indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance.
  • Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week before transplanting outdoors after the last frost date.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering:
  • Provide consistent moisture throughout the growing season, especially during the tasseling and silking stages.
• Mulching:
  • Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds.
• Pollination:
  • Corn requires adequate pollination for good ear development. Planting in blocks rather than single rows helps facilitate wind pollination.
