Planting: To ensure proper pollination, plant at least 3 to 4 rows. Sow seeds in rows 10-15 cm apart, then thin to 30 cm apart. Rows should be spaced 90 cm apart. Germination occurs in approximately 15 days.
Care: Work a vegetable fertilizer into the soil at planting. Keep weeds under control and irrigate frequently throughout the season. Cobs are ready for harvesting when the silks turn dark brown.
