Germination Temperature:

The seeds germinate best in soil temperatures between 15°C and 29°C (60–85°F)​​

Germination Time: Under optimal conditions, seeds germinate within 7 to 14 days.

Light Requirement for Germination: Bright, indirect sunlight is ideal during germination. Direct sunlight is not required until the seedlings emerge.

Seed to Harvest Time: The harvest period for bi-color sweet corn is approximately 75-85 days after sowing.

Plant Height: Mature plants can reach a height of 6-8 feet.

Plant Spacing (Commercial Farming): Maintain 1-1.5 feet between plants and 2-3 feet between rows for optimal growth and pollination.

Container Size for Rooftop Gardening: Use a container with a minimum diameter of 12 inches (30 cm) and depth of 12-15 inches, holding approximately 20-25 liters of soil per plant.

Soil Requirements: Sweet corn grows best in loose, well-draining soil with a pH of 5.8 to 7.0. Add compost, aged manure, and organic matter for fertility and moisture retention.

Organic Fertilizers: Use well-composted manure, fish emulsion, seaweed extract, bone meal, and vermicompost. High-nitrogen sources like blood meal are also beneficial during early growth.

Identifying Maturity: Sweet corn is ready to harvest when the kernels are plump, milky, and tender. Check by gently peeling back the husk and pressing a kernel to see if it releases a milky liquid.

Watering Requirement (Container Gardening): Each plant requires 1-1.5 liters of water every day, especially during flowering and kernel formation.

Daily Sunlight Requirement: Sweet corn requires 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for healthy growth.

Essential Nutrients:

• Nitrogen (2.5-3%) for growth (found in blood meal or fish emulsion).
• Phosphorus (1-1.5%) for root development (present in bone meal).
• Potassium (3-5%) for kernel development (available in wood ash or banana peel compost).

Organic Fertilizer Application:

• Nitrogen (Blood Meal/Fish Emulsion): 50 grams every 2 weeks.
• Phosphorus (Bone Meal): 30 grams per month.
• Potassium (Wood Ash): 50 grams every 3 weeks.

Life Span: Sweet corn completes its life cycle in 3-4 months.

Growing Difficulty: 7/10 – requires attention to pollination and consistent care.

Optimum Humidity Level: 50-70%.

Companion Plants: Beans, cucumbers, squash, marigolds, and dill.

Common Diseases and Cures:

• Corn Smut: Remove infected parts and improve air circulation.
• Rust: Apply neem oil or sulfur-based fungicides.
• Blight: Ensure proper spacing and use copper fungicides.

Pests and Prevention:

• Corn Earworms: Use organic insecticides or row covers.
• Aphids: Spray with soapy water or neem oil.
• Cutworms: Place collars around young plants and keep the area weed-free.

Additional Care Tips:

• Regularly weed around plants.
• Mulch to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
• Thin plants if overcrowded.

Best Sowing Method: Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep in moist, well-drained soil. Sow in blocks for better pollination rather than long single rows.

Ideal Potting Mix for ‘Bicolor Thai Sweet Corn’

To create a perfect potting mix for growing ‘Bicolor Thai Sweet Corn’ in a container suited to the Bangladeshi climate (warm, humid, with a monsoon season), we need a mix that provides excellent drainage, retains adequate moisture, and supplies the nutrients essential for sweet corn’s growth. Sweet corn thrives in well-drained, fertile, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8.

• Loamy Soil – 40%
• Coconut Coir & Dust – 20%
• Brown River Sand – 15%
• Cow Dung Compost – 10%
• Vermicompost – 5%
• Bone Meal – 3%
• Neem Cake Powder – 3%
• Oyster Shell Powder – 2%
• Epsom Salt – 1% (light sprinkle, approximately 5–10 grams per 10 liters of mix)
• Water – As needed for moisture balance

Preparation Instructions

1. Mix Dry Components: Combine loamy soil (40%), coconut coir dust (20%), brown river sand (15%), cow dung compost (10%), vermicompost (5%), bone meal (3%), neem cake powder (3%), and oyster shell powder (2%) in a large container or on a clean surface. Blend thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
2. Add Epsom Salt: Dissolve 5–10 grams of Epsom salt in a small amount of water (e.g., 200–300 ml) and sprinkle it evenly over the mix while stirring. This avoids clumping.
3. Moisten the Mix: Gradually add water while mixing until the soil holds together when squeezed but doesn’t drip. It should feel like a wrung-out sponge.
4. Rest the Mix: Let it sit for 24–48 hours to allow the components to integrate and stabilize pH and moisture.
5. Fill Containers: Use this mix to fill pots (minimum 12–18 inches in diameter and depth), leaving 1–2 inches of space at the top for watering.

Notes

• Adjustments: If the mix feels too heavy after heavy rain, add 5% more sand. If it dries out quickly in hot weather, increase coir to 25% and reduce soil to 35%.
