Optimizing Greenhouse Corn Production: How Can Two-Spotted Spider Mites Be Controlled?, Robert Eddy, Daniel T. Hahn
Optimizing Greenhouse Corn Production: How Can Two-Spotted Spider Mites Be Controlled?, Robert Eddy, Daniel T. Hahn
Purdue Methods for Corn Growth
This publication describes our experiences controlling mites while conducting experiments to optimize greenhouse corn production. Controlled studies were not conducted, but we recommend cultural practices of water spray-offs of leaf undersides and the stripping lower leaves as the crop ages. Also recommended are applications of beneficial insect Phytoseiulus persimilis at very high rates. The rates are an update of our previous publication. Photos of the pest and cultural practices are provided.
This document is one entry in a series of questions and answers originally posted to the Purdue University Department of Horticulture & Landscape Architecture’s Plant Growth Facility Web site …
Optimizing Greenhouse Corn Production: What Is The Best Pot Size?, Derek Gambrel, Robert Eddy, Daniel T. Hahn
Optimizing Greenhouse Corn Production: What Is The Best Pot Size?, Derek Gambrel, Robert Eddy, Daniel T. Hahn
Purdue Methods for Corn Growth
This publication describes studies conducted to determine best pot size for optimizing greenhouse corn production. We suggest a 2.2-gallon container without large drainage holes extending up the side of the pot. This represents an update of our previous recommendation of a smaller pot, after observing instability in row planting configurations. Photos are included of corn in various size pots.

Optimizing Greenhouse Corn Production: Summary, Robert Eddy, Daniel T. Hahn
Purdue Methods for Corn Growth
This publication provides a summary of the goals and scope of our studies to optimize greenhouse corn production, as well as a single-page chart of all the recommendations. The chart includes recommendations for substrate, container, irrigation, fertilization, spacing and lighting. In this version, we updated the pot size recommendation.

Sugar-Enhanced Sweet Corn Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2011, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Indiana growers harvested sweet corn for fresh market sales from 6,500 acres in 2010, with an average yield of 92 cwt/acre (219 crates or 4.6 tons per acre) and total value of $14.4 million (USDA NASS, 2011). Indiana ranks 13th among states for production of fresh market sweet corn. The 2007 USDA Ag Census reported 603 Indiana farms producing sweet corn for fresh markets and 51 farms selling to processors. Sweet corn fields for fresh market sales are located throughout the state. In northern Indiana, bicolor corn is most commonly grown. Varieties with improved eating quality are of interest to …
