I'd like to grow some corn this year and am wondering about varieties of sweet corn for my area. Also, what are some diseases and/or pests to be on the lookout? Ways to deal with both?

Honey select triple sweet has been my corn of choice for several years now. I swear it is better tasting than all others I tried even the widely acclaimed Olathe corn. Several members here also use it.

The only insect problem I ever have is the corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea).

I control it by applying a 10:1 ratio of neem oil and BT to the silks via medicine dropper. Very effective.
