Best Practices

Sweet corn is a warm season crop which performs best in fertile , well drained soils . Sow seed into warm soils for best emergence , especially for untreated varieties . Because sweet corn is wind pollinated , grow in blocks of four or more rows for best pollination .
Seeding : Seed 10-15 lbs / acre or 1lb / 1000 ’. Plant 1 -1 1 / 2 ” deep .
• Row width : 30 ” -36 ”, seed spacing : 8 ” -12 ”
• Min . soil temperature : 55-60 ° F ( treated ), 65-70 ° F ( untreated )
Isolation : Isolate all su , se , and synergistic varieties from super sweets ( sh2 )
• By distance ( garden : 25-75 ft , acreage : 250 ft )
• By time ( plant at 12-14 day intervals )
