baby corn is ready for harvests after seeds germinate and grow for 45-60 days, during which the plant is in full production. It is a short-lived plant so it can bear produce only once, yielding 3-4 ears per tree. However, farmers can grow baby corn 4-5 times a year. Baby corn grows well in a wide range of soil types but it thrives best in loose soil, which drains well. A suitable soil for baby corn has a wide pH range, from 5.5 to 7.0. It can also grow in quite very acid soil, but cannot grow in wetland with low drainage. As for temperature, the plant prefers full sunlight necessary to its growth. Consequently, successful growth requires a minimum average temperature of 72 or 75 °F
