Corn Planting Principles for Early Season Success
Early planting yields higher productivity when soil and weather permit. Plant when the soil warms enough for germination. avoid deep or poorly drained soils. For sandy, rolling land, plant in shallow furrows five to six inches deep with rows five feet apart and plants two feet apart in the row. On richer land, rows can be four and a half feet apart with plants fifteen to eighteen inches apart. Apply most fertilizer before planting and mix well with soil to prevent seed damage. avoid multiple late applications. If moisture and humus are ample, closer drilling is safe. Repeated applications are often wasted.

Seed Treatment Suggested for Watermelon Anthracnose
Clemson College advises treating melon seed for anthracnose before planting to reduce infection. Immersing seed in a 1 to 1000 mercuric chloride solution for five minutes is recommended, though seed treatment alone cannot guarantee a healthy crop. Disease can survive on old vines and fruit remnants, and manure from infested lots may spread spores. Other sanitary measures and a good spray program are needed.
