This improved supersweet has
excellent germination and seedling vigor when compared to other varieties in this class.
Snow White has great flavor and good yields. Snow White is an excellent variety for both shipping and local markets. Plants are sturdy, ears have good husk cover, attractive kernel color and dark green husks. This variety is sweeter than most Sh2 hybrids and earlier to mature than other main-season white supersweets. With an extra sweetness factor, Snow White has better shipping ability and stores well. Vigorous growth and exceptional eating quality are sure to make Snow White a favorite with growers. |
Snow White is very susceptible to
infection by Common Rust (Puccinia sorghi). Severe infection may render the ears unmarketable. When scouting for disease, 5 pustles per leaf is the sign to begin your spray program.

Isolate from all other endosperm types. Either switch to 100% sh2,
maintain 250 from field corn and other endosperm types (use physical barriers and prevailing winds to decrease this distance) or time planting so pollen shed occurs at least 10 days apart. |
