GROWING CONDITION | Soil should be made by mixing Manure with soil (3:7), this will help in germination of seeds.Care needs to be taken to see that the soil is clean from any weed or insect. While watering care needs to be taken to only sprinkling water through a sprinkler or manually using your hands hands, do not use pipe or a mug to water for the first week, as the force of water might damage the seed germination process. Germination may take place 10-15 days. Once the seeds grow in to seedlings, say around 3 inches, then you may transplant the seedlings to various pots or desired areas. The sapling needs to be checked at regular intervals to ensure it is not infected by any weed/pest or insect and if you find any such thing on the leaves or in soil then you may spray medicine on it. |
GERMINATION RATE | 80 to 90 %. |
KEY FEATURE | It is a very high yielding hybrid of Kharif & Rabi season and has a unique plant structure that makes it to respond higher populations. It also has very good standability which is required in the markets of Bihar & Coastal AP. |
Description | For early plantings, sow seeds only 1 inch deep; in the hot weather of midsummer, plant them up to 2 inches deep. The average germination rate for sweet corn is about 75 percent, so plant three seeds together every 7 to 15 inches. They should germinate in 7 to 10 days. "HOW TO PLANT : Starting corn seeds indoors is not recommended. It’s best to start them directly in the garden so that their roots aren’t disturbed due to transplanting. Plant seeds 1.5 to 2 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. Rows should be spaced 30 to 36 inches apart. You may choose to fertilize at planting time; corn is meant to grow rapidly. If you are confident that the soil is adequate, this can be skipped. Water well at planting time." TEMPERATURE : Make sure the soil temperature is above 60°F (16°C) for successful germination. (Up to 65°F/18°C for super sweet varieties.) In colder zones, the ground can be warmed by a black plastic cover, if necessary. Plant seeds through holes in the plastic. GERMINATION : Corn planted in cold, wet soil is unlikely to germinate. Corn seed germinates in 10 to 14 days at 75°F (24°C), but the rate of germination may reach only 75 percent. |
