Baby corn
Baby corn is harvested and processed by hand from cobs while very young. Harvesting takes place usually at or within 2 days of silks emerging. Cob size is usually 4–10 cm long and 1–1.5 cm in diameter.
Selecting the best cultivars for baby corn production is important. Factors considered when selecting a cultivar include high cob numbers, disease resistance, high yield, good row arrangement and a strong yellow cob colour. Both su and sh2 types are used. In Thailand, where there is a successful baby corn industry, plants are usually spaced 45 cm × 1 m.

· For good pollination sweetcorn needs to be planted in blocks rather than a single row or two. The exception to this is Babycorn varieties as they do not need to pollinate.
