About -

Enjoy homegrown snacking with Richgrow Seeds Maize Pop Corn Hybrid Seeds, a high-yielding, non-GMO, F1 hybrid variety (Zea mays var. everta), ideal for home gardeners and farmers seeking crisp, flavorful popcorn at an unbeatable price! Known as Pop Corn, this variety produces medium-sized cobs, measuring 15–20 cm long, packed with small, hard, golden or white kernels that pop into fluffy, tasty popcorn, ready to harvest in 80–100 days after sowing. Rich in fiber and low in calories, popcorn kernels offer a healthy, fun snack. The sturdy, upright plants, growing 1.5–2 m tall, are resistant to pests like corn earworms and diseases such as common rust, thriving in warm climates, with optimal sowing in spring (February–April) or early monsoon (June–July) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Punjab, and Karnataka, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 2–3 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 5.8–7.0) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 20–30 cm apart in rows 60–75 cm wide; achieve 85% germination within 7–10 days at 20–30°C. Maintain moist soil with regular watering (1–2 liters per plant every 2–3 days), especially during cob development, and fertilize with organic compost or nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 2–3 weeks; use neem oil or Bt-based sprays for pests like borers or aphids. Thin to one strong seedling per spot, and hill soil around stems for stability. Harvest cobs when kernels are hard and glossy, typically 20–30 days after silking, allowing them to dry on the plant or in a well-ventilated area for 2–3 weeks before shelling, with excellent storage in airtight containers. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 2 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (50–100 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white). Seed quantity may vary by variety. Note: Dry kernels thoroughly for optimal popping; plant in blocks for better pollination.
