Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No specific seed preparation is required for Roundup Ready corn seeds.
Sowing:
Plant seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date when the soil temperature is consistently above 60°F (15°C).
Sow seeds 1-2 inches deep and 8-12 inches apart in rows spaced 30-36 inches apart.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Transplanting:
Transplanting is generally not recommended for corn, as it has sensitive roots. It is best to sow seeds directly into the soil.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Water regularly, providing about 1 inch of water per week, especially during dry periods. Ensure even moisture during tasseling and ear development.
Weed Control: Roundup Ready corn seeds are genetically modified to resist the herbicide glyphosate. However, it's important to follow proper application guidelines for herbicides and minimize non-target exposure.
Harvesting: Harvest when the ears feel firm and the kernels are plump. This typically occurs 70-100 days after planting.
