Corn plant with three ears growing
I've read somewhere that one ear of corn per plant is what
is to be expected. I have found that corn loves alot of sun, likes a lot of heat, and really does well in direct sunlight and does not like any kind of shade. What's the most ears of corn grown off of one plant (seed) ? I've found that in direct sunlight, a seed planted two weeks after seeds planted in half-sun/half-shade will fruit earlier than the earlier planted seeds. Furthermore, I've found that seeds should be placed at least two feet from another seed. I am actually leaning towards three feet between the seeds but I'm reading that wind can damage the corn. 15mph winds seem to have an effect on under than one foot and corn of two feet is much stronger. And it gets stronger as it grows. After the corn is harvested, can the stalk be expected to bear more corn ? -- Jim Carlock http://www.911forthetruth.com/ Post replies to the newsgroup. |
