• Ear Characteristics: Produces large, uniform ears with plump kernels that have an excellent sweet flavor, ideal for fresh consumption, canning, or freezing.
• Height: Typically grows to a height of 7-8 feet, with sturdy stalks capable of supporting heavy ears.

Growing Information:

Germination Rate: The treated seed offers higher germination rates and improved seedling vigor, ensuring better plant establishment and uniform growth.

Preferred Growing Conditions:

• Requires full sun for optimal growth.
• Soil should be fertile, well-drained, and rich in organic matter.
• Ideal growing temperatures are between 60-85°F (15-29°C) for rapid development.

Spacing: Plant seeds 1-2 inches apart in rows spaced 30-36 inches apart to encourage strong growth and adequate airflow.

Watering: Consistent moisture is essential, particularly during pollination and ear filling. Corn plants typically need 1-2 inches of water per week.

Care Tips:

1. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer, particularly with high nitrogen, to encourage strong early growth and promote healthy ear development.
2. Weeding: Keep weeds under control to prevent competition for nutrients and space.
3. Thinning: Space plants properly to ensure proper airflow and avoid overcrowding.
4. Pest Management: The treated seed offers protection against early-season pests, but continue to monitor for any pest pressure during the growing season.
5. Watering: Ensure consistent, deep watering to promote strong root growth and healthy plants.
6. Pollination: Ensure adequate pollination for full ear development. Planting in blocks rather than single rows can improve pollination efficiency.

• Seed Treatment Protection: The pre-treatment ensures the seeds are resistant to common early-season diseases and pests, giving your crop a head start and reducing the need for additional chemical treatments.
• Early Maturity: With a growing cycle of just 75-80 days, Tempo XR allows for quick harvest, making it ideal for growers in areas with shorter seasons.
• Higher Germination Rates: The seed treatment enhances the germination process, ensuring that more seeds sprout and establish themselves in your field or garden.
• Increased Disease Resistance: The seed treatment helps mitigate the risks associated with soil-borne diseases, improving the overall health and resilience of your plants.
