Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation

• No pre-soaking required, but soaking for 12 hours can speed up germination.
• Choose a warm, sunny location with wind protection.

Sowing Guidelines

Outdoor Sowing (Recommended for Best Growth):

• Direct sow after the last frost when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F (15°C).
• Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spaced 6-8 inches apart.
• Sow in blocks of at least 4 rows, 18-24 inches apart, to encourage good pollination.

Indoor Sowing (For Early Start in Colder Climates):

• Start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 4-6 inches tall and nighttime temperatures remain above 50°F (10°C).

Germination & Growth

• Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days.
• Keep soil consistently moist, especially during pollination and ear development.
• Corn is a heavy feeder; enrich soil with compost or aged manure before planting.

Harvesting

• Ready to harvest when silks turn brown and ears feel full (60-75 days).
• Test by peeling back the husk and pressing a kernel—if a milky liquid emerges, it's ripe.
• Harvest in the morning for the sweetest flavor.

Care & Maintenance

• Watering: Provide deep watering (1-1.5 inches per week), especially during tasseling and ear development.
• Fertilization: Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to promote strong stalks and full ears.
• Mulching: Helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Pest & Disease Control

• Common Pests: Corn earworms, aphids, and cutworms. Use neem oil or row covers to protect plants.
• Common Diseases: Rust, smut, and leaf blight. Rotate crops annually and ensure good air circulation.
