SWEET CORN GROWERS GUIDE
| Types | Categories/Varieties | DESCRIPTION | DATA |
|---|---|---|---|
| SU Isolate from SH2 & Synergistic | Normal: -Jubilee |
Offer traditional old-fashioned corn flavor and require isolation from SH2 and Synergistic sweet corns. The sugar will convert to starch more quickly than other types once mature. | 9-16% Sugar |
| SE & SE+ Isolate from SH2 | Sugary Enhanced: - Ambrosia - Bodacious - Buttergold - Incredible - Kandy Korn - Peaches & Cream - Mid - Trinity |
Have a gene that increases tenderness and sweetness. Sweet, creamy, and tender kernel with longer harvest period. SE are hybrids that have SE and SU parents. Varieties designated SE+ have two SE parents resulting in increased sweetness. Sugary Enhanced varieties do not require isolation from SU sweet corn, but should be isolated from SH2. | 14-22% SE 20-28% SE+ Sugar |
| SH2 Isolate from SU, SE & Synergistic | Super Sweet, Xtra Sweet, & Shrunken: - Crown (Attribute +) - Nirvana SH2i - Solstice SH2i |
Have a ‘shrunken’ gene that enhances sweetness and produces kernels that are crisp and juicy. Holding qualities are excellent, up to 10 days longer than normal hybrids. Cross pollination between other corn will result in starchy kernels in both. Isolate a minimum of 25 feet in gardens or 200 feet in acreage plantings. SH2 varieties generally do not have the germination vigor as other types of sweet corn. Planting depth is generally 1-1/4” compared to 1-1/2”. SH2 seeds need twice as much water absorption to germinate as other sweet corn. | 28-44% Sugar |
| Synergistic Isolate from SU & SH2 |
Se/Sh2, Quad Sweet, -Alto |
Excellent quality and flavor. Synergistic combines some of the characteristics of SH2 and SE sweet corn. Higher sugar than SE and more tender kernels than SH2. Blends the corn flavor and tenderness of SE with the higher sugar levels and quality of the SH2 types. Synergistic and SE varieties can be grown together, however; isolate from other SU and SH2 varieties or the result will be tough, starchy kernels for both. | 22-36% Sugar |
| Isolation | Soil Temps | Soil Prep | Pollination |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sweet corn requires isolation from popcorn, ornamental and field corn. Timing can also achieve isolation. 10 days is recommended between either planting dates or maturity difference to minimize cross-pollination. | Avoid planting in soils below 60 degrees or right before a cold front. Soil should be at least 65 degrees to ensure fast germination. | For strong, even emergence, prepare a smooth, adequately moist seed bed and plant about 1-1/2” deep. Moisture extremes should be avoided as sweet corn seeds are most sensitive to cold, wet conditions during the first 24 hours after planting. | Place seeds in 6-7” spacing and arrange in blocks of at least 4 rows 30-36” apart to ensure proper pollination and well filled ears. |
