Why super sweet?

Super sweet sweet corn or Sh2 type corn - shranken:

• the name comes from the appearance of the dried grains - “wrinkled”;
• has a very slow conversion of sugars into starch;
• contains 4-10 times more sugar content than normal Su type sweet corn
• under normal conditions, it can be stored for up to 21 days after collection, but it has the best taste during the first 7 days.

Type of sweet corn and sugar content:

• Normal (Su) - up to 10%;
• Improved (Se) - up to 15%;
• Supersweet (Sh2) - more than 20%;

Type Sh2 of supersweet hybrids is less hardy than the normal and improved types and is more demanding in terms of compliance with growing technology. Therefore, to achieve optimal results, supersweet hybrids will require:

• higher similarity temperature - + 12-15ºС. Not less!
• exact seeding depth - 2.5-3cm. No deeper!
• moisture supply is the main condition! irrigation rate 500m3/ha (depending on the amount of precipitation, at least 3-5 irrigations are recommended)
• isolation from all types and types of corn (fodder; popping; sweet corn of normal and improved types).
