Corn

*SU, SE, SY, SH2: Values of sweetness.*

SU - Normal Sugary: This is the traditional sweet corn type and contains varying degrees of sugar that convert to starch rapidly after harvest.

SE - Sugary Enhanced: This corn type has higher sugar content than standard sweet corn. Its sweet taste and creamy texture makes SE the type preferred by many growers. Sow 7-10 days later than normal early varieties.

SY - Synergistic: This new type of corn combines the sweet creamy flavour of the SE types with the higher sugar content and longer harvest window of the SH2 types to produce exceptionally good corn. Each cob contains about 25% SH2 kernels and 75% SE kernels. These synergistic types are much less sensitive to cold soil than SH2 varieties and do not need to be isolated from SE and SU varieties.

SH2 - Supersweet: Supersweets have a high sugar content creating an exra sweet flavour and crisp texture. Cold soil vigour and emergence is less vigourous then SE or SU typs. To prevent starchy, tough kernels you must isolate supersweets from other corn types to prevent cross pollination.

Improved Supersweets SH2

Not the supersweets of the past. New augmented supersweet varieties are major improvements over older varieties. Much better corn flavour and more tender kernels, while maintaining exceptional sweetness and a wide harvest window. These new SH2 types also have much better vigour and better emergence. They still require isolation from other types, and caution should be used when planting in cold soil.
