We plant sweet corn every year, but have to spray it. If you don't there will be soo many worms nobody will buy it.
We plant Silver Queen and Siverado.
We use Lannate, Asana, and Manzate (fungicide) to spray. Spray it the first time when it begins to tassle and then every 2 days for 5 sprayings. We use a 3pt mounted air blast sprayer (orchard sprayer) and spray per the instructions on the pesticide/fungicide.
You might find 1 worm in a 60 ear bushel. Everybody always compliments on how few worms are in our corn.
We use a covington planter set on 10" and plant in 60" rows. 5-10-15 as starter fertilize in the planter. About 300# per acre. The side dress when it's about 10" with 13-13-13. Come back at about 16" and sidedress with 34-0-0.
We usually sell for $12.00 to $18.00 a bushel. Depending on demand and market price.
