Fruit corn. This corn tastes like sweet milk and can be picked and eaten raw like fruit.

1. Characteristics: Early maturity and high yield. It takes 80 to 85 days from sowing to picking the young ears, and the young ears can be picked about 25 days after the filaments are drawn; short stalks, plant height 1 to 1.5 meters, 9 to 10 leaves produce smallpox, each plant has 1 to 3 female ears; a single young ear weighs 200 to 300 grams, the yield per mu can reach 1500 kilograms, and the ear length is 15 to 21 cm; the quality is good, and the seeds are white, crisp, tender and sweet. , delicious, with a sugar content of about 17%. It is suitable for cultivation in spring, summer and autumn in various corn producing areas.

2. Key points of cultivation

(1) Soil selection: It can be cultivated on any land where ordinary corn is planted, or it can be intercropped with wheat, rape, etc. The soil is required to be fertile and have convenient drainage and irrigation.

(2) Fertilization: Apply 1,500 to 2,000 kilograms of decomposed farmyard manure per mu, 40 kilograms of superphosphate, and 20 kilograms of ammonium bicarbonate or urea as base fertilizer, and topdress in time before jointing and flowering.

(3) Sowing and raising seedlings The germination rate of super sweet corn is only 70% due to the genetics of the variety. To ensure full seedlings, it is best to use nutrient soil blocks or nutrient bowls to raise seedlings. When the seedlings have 2 to 3 leaves, transplant. The amount of seeds per mu is: 2 kilograms for direct seeding and 1 kilogram for seedlings. There are about 3,500 seedlings per mu, with a spacing of 20 to 30 centimeters between plants and a spacing between rows of 75 to 100 centimeters. Sowing period: Around early April, spring planting with 5 cm of ground temperature is 11°C, and can be broadcast live or transplanted in the open field; summer and autumn planting are sown from May to early July, and other areas are sown according to the local planting season.

(4) Isolation In order to ensure the characteristics of super sweet corn, it cannot be mixed with ordinary corn, and it must be 1,000 meters away from the land where other varieties of corn are grown. The sowing period can also be staggered so that the flowering period does not occur. , to achieve isolation purposes. The sowing dates are staggered by 40 days in spring and 20 days in summer and autumn.

(5) Management This variety is special and has many branches. The strongest side branch should be selected to bear corn cobs, and the rest should be removed. During the flowering period, artificial pollination should be assisted by shaking the corn plants so that the plants collide with each other and pollen falls. It is necessary to water in time after fertilizing or in early weather, especially half a month before flowering, to keep the soil moist.

(6) Prevention and control of diseases, insect pests and rodent damage mainly focuses on the prevention and control of corn borer. The most effective method is to release 300 times of phoxim mixed with soil granules during the trumpet period before smallpox outbreak; prevention and control Rats eat fruit ears, so just place rat poison in the field.

(7) Harvesting: Tender ears can be harvested 22 to 25 days after silking and pollination. Late harvesting will significantly reduce the sugar content. After harvesting, it should be put on the market the same day or the bracts should be peeled off, boiled for 12 to 15 minutes, drained, sold or wrapped in plastic wrap, and frozen in the refrigerator. It can be stored for 3 to 6 months.
