SELECT FROM ALL OF OUR PREMIUM SSW VARIETIES Seed Density and Appearance SSW seeds generally differ from sh2 seeds in both density and appearance. SSW seeds are denser than sh2 seeds, and unlike sh2, they do not show defined denting or dimpling. SSW seeds are also heavier, with smoother seed coats that process far better than conventional sh2 gene-types in seed lot preparation systems. Plant Populations When planting SSW varieties versus conventional sh2’s, it is important to learn that SSW varieties will very likely germinate and establish close to the planted populations. Over planting to compensate for expected lower actual germs may result in too thick stands, which in turn can lead to undesired ear size or shape and/or potential yield loss. Moisture Level and Soil Temperature Tests have shown best emergence with normal or slightly higher moisture level. Be sure to provide adequate moisture, but to avoid over watering. Sweet corn tends not to germinate below 45° Fahrenheit; however, SSW shows improved vigor and uniformity at lower temperatures as compared to sh2 varieties. SuperSeedWare™ (SSW™) is the name for the gene-type platforms of sweet corn seeds that are protected by US Patent #8,796,504, #8,822,756 and #6,184,438. SSW improves the performance of sweet corn seeds under many stress conditions, such as early plantings in colder or wetter soil. Other attributes suggest earlier maturities, stronger stalk and root systems, measurable disease tolerance improvements, overall higher yield potentials, and improved seed storage and shelf life. Proper Handling and Storage SSW seed is generally denser and less susceptible to physical damage than sh2. In order to ensure best results, it is recommended to avoid rough handling and excessive agitation prior to planting. As with all seed, store any unused seed in appropriate containers and under controlled storage to ensure maximum shelf life and viability. Isolation SSW gene-type varieties are compatible with conventional sh2 types and may be planted in harmony. Other gene-types should not be allowed to cross pollinate with SSW types in order to maintain visual and eating quality shelf life of 100% of the kernels. As with most other gene-types of sweet corn, SSW varieties will provide maximum results when protected from cross pollination from any other gene-types.
