When planting in rows, space seeds 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in.) apart, then thin to 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in.) and space rows 55 to 75 cm (22 to 30 in.) apart. . To ensure good pollination, plant at least 3 to 4 rows. Corn can also be sown with 3 to 4 seeds per hill in hills spaced 30 cm (12 in.) apart. Plant 250 gr (1/2 lb) in a row of 30 m (100′); 4.5 to 6.8 kg (10 to 15 lb) per acre.
Work in a good general vegetable fertilizer when planting, keep weeds under control and the soil evenly watered throughout the season. Only sow when the soil has warmed to 18°C. Some years this happens in mid-May, other years we have to wait until late May or early June.
