Agronomy of Sugar 75 F1 Hybrid Sweet Corn:
Sugar 75 F1 Hybrid Sweet Corn thrives in various environmental conditions, but proper agronomic practices are essential to achieve the best results. Here's a guide to successful planting and crop management:
Sowing/Planting Season:
Ideal Seasons: Suitable for sowing in both the Kharif and Rabi seasons, ensuring a flexible planting schedule for farmers across Pakistan.
Seed Rate: Apply 2 to 2.5 kg per acre for optimal plant population and growth.
Plant Population: Maintain a population of 20,000 to 22,000 plants per acre for efficient land use and high yields.
Field Preparation:
The field should be free from weeds and should have good drainage to avoid waterlogging. Begin by performing 1-2 deep ploughings, followed by 3 to 4 harrowing rounds to achieve a fine tilth.
FYM Application: Apply 8 to 10 metric tons of well-decomposed farmyard manure (FYM) before sowing to improve soil fertility.
Sowing Method:
The recommended method is line sowing, with a row-to-row distance of 60 cm and a plant-to-plant distance of 30 cm. This provides adequate space for each plant to grow, resulting in healthier crops and larger ears of corn.
Seed Treatment and Protection:
The Sugar 75 F1 Hybrid Seed from Syngenta Pakistan comes pre-treated with Cyantraniliprole + Thiamethoxam + Thiram/Matalaxyl-M, providing initial protection against pests and diseases. This pre-treatment enhances seed germination and promotes early plant vigor, reducing the need for early-stage pesticide applications.
Nutrient Management and Fertilizer Application:
For optimal growth and yield, follow this fertilizer schedule:
Stage |
Fertilizer Application |
Initial Fertilization |
Apply 50 kg DAP + 50 kg MOP + 10 kg micronutrients per acre |
After 20 Days |
50 kg Urea + 10 kg Magnesium Sulphate + 10 kg Zinc Sulphate |
After 40 Days |
50 kg DAP + 25 kg Urea |
After 55 Days |
50 kg Urea (adjust depending on soil nutrient status) |
Proper fertilization ensures that Sugar 75 F1 Hybrid Sweet Corn receives the necessary nutrients throughout its growing cycle, promoting strong growth, higher sugar content, and better kernel quality.
Pest and Disease Control:
Pest control is critical for healthy crop development. The Sugar 75 F1 Hybrid Sweet Corn variety is resistant to many common pests, but it still requires periodic monitoring and treatment for insects like the fall armyworm (FAW) and other corn pests.
Here’s a suggested pest management schedule:
Pheromone Traps: Set up 10-12 traps per acre after 7-10 days to monitor and capture insects.
Pesticide Application: Apply Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.5% after 15-20 days and repeat after 25-30 and 35-40 days.
Disease Management: For Northern Corn Leaf Blight (NCLB), apply Bavsitin and Tilt as preventive treatments.
Irrigation Management:
Irrigation requirements depend on the soil type, climate, and crop stage:
Vegetative Stage: Maintain adequate moisture to support root growth.
Flowering & Fruiting: Provide frequent, shallow irrigation.
Harvesting Stage: Gradually reduce irrigation as the crop nears maturity.
In summer, more frequent irrigation is needed, while in winter, you can extend the intervals between watering. During the rainy season, reduce irrigation based on natural soil moisture levels.
