Corn Sweet Argent White
Zea mays var rugosa (hybrid)
Days to maturity: 86
Argent is a white sweet corn with superb sweet, creamy flavor and excellent cultivation traits, including adaptability to cool soils, and high tolerance to Stewart’s Wilt and Northern Corn Leaf Blight. Argent is a heterozygous sugary enhanced (se) hybrid; it holds its sweetness and high quality flavor for days after picking.
This packet plants three 9 foot rows.
Days to Emerge: 5 - 10
Seed Depth: 1" - 1½"
Seed Spacing: 2 seeds every 12"
Row Spacing: 2' - 3'
Thinning: When 4" tall, thin to 1 every 12"
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperatures are warm (60 - 65 degrees F).
When to start inside: Not recommended; corn seed does not transplant well.
Special sowing instructions: Easy to grow from seed. Since pollination occurs from wind, corn seed should be sown in short, parallel rows or blocks.
Harvesting: Corn is ready about 3 weeks after the silks appear; harvest when the silks are brown, but not dried, and the husks are dark green; ears should be plump. Pull back the husk and pop a kernel with your thumb; a milky juice squirting out means corn is ready. If juice is watery, corn is still immature.
