Bi-Licious Sweet Corn -MIg

Description

Bi-Licious Sweet Corn is a delicious bicolor hybrid variety, producing ears with both yellow and white kernels that are extra sweet and tender. Known for its crisp bite and high sugar content, it’s ideal for fresh eating, grilling, steaming, or freezing. Each plant produces large, uniform cobs on sturdy stalks. This variety thrives in sunny, warm climates and offers consistent yields—perfect for UAE home gardens.

When to Plant in the UAE (Field Planting)

In the UAE, Bi-Licious Sweet Corn should be directly sown outdoors during the two optimal planting periods:

• Early September for a fall harvest

• Late February for a spring harvest

These seasons provide the warm soil and moderate air temperatures that sweet corn needs for fast germination and healthy cob development. Avoid planting during extreme summer or winter months.

Tips for Planting

• Choose a site with full sun and rich, well-draining soil

• Sow seeds directly at a depth of 2–3 cm

• Space seeds 20–25 cm apart in rows 60–75 cm apart

• Keep soil consistently moist, especially during germination and silking

• For best pollination, plant in blocks (3–4 short rows) rather than single long rows

• Cobs are typically ready to harvest 75–85 days after sowing, when silks turn brown and kernels are full and milky
