Cultivation
Zea mays L. subsp. mays (Sweet Corn Group)
The use of sweet corn for fresh consumption requires harvesting at the milk stage and consideration of hybrid genetic traits to slow the conversion of sugars into starch. The product is characterized by a tender pericarp texture and requires rapid cooling due to its high perishability.
In the reference 92 varieties crop Sweet corn, where this is mentioned in the description.
For fresh market sales, corn is harvested at a grain moisture content of 70–80%, while the endosperm remains soft. A key factor is the selection of hybrids with su, se, or sh2 genetic types, which can retain sweetness longer due to a slower starch formation process and possess a thin grain pericarp.
The market quality of the produce is determined by ear density and the condition of the husk leaves, which should maintain a vibrant green color. Due to physiological perishability, fresh corn requires rapid removal of field heat, preferably by hydrocooling, and strict adherence to storage temperature conditions near 0°C.
