Add well rotted manure or compost to the planting soil prior to planting. Sow corn seeds at 1 inch depth in loose, well-draining soil. Corn seeds will take 15 to 20 days once the soil temperature is around 25°C. For perpetual harvest plant corn batches after every 3 to 4 weeks.SOIL:Well-drained loose soil with pH ranging from 5.8 to 6.8 is ideal for growing sweetcorn. Sweetcorn plants will also benefit from high nitrogen content in soil.SPOT: Plant corn seeds in full sun.TEMPERATURE:The ideal soil temperature for germination ranges between 20 to 25°C.WATERING:Keep the planting site for sweetcorn plants evenly moist during the growing stage since dry soil may lead to wilting.
