Hawaiian Supersweet corn maybe awaited Angus MacGyver and Riley Davis awakening on Abduction + Memory + Time + Fireworks + Dispersal, action-adventure television series finale as fifth-season final episode April 30, 2021.
Fifth-season 15th-episode director David Straiton and writers Alessia Costantini, Stephanie Hicks, Andrew Klein and Monica Macer bedevil with nanotracker-booted bodies bountiful fields beautified with bright corn. The drama series' 94th episode overall considers the catastrophic consequences of carrying computer chips communicating, without conscious carrier consent, locational and personal information to covert captors. Decades devoted to designating desirable traits of temperate mainland and tropical island cultivated varieties, described as cultivars, perhaps developed albeit less damaging, less dissembling corn-tracking devices.
Hawaiian Supersweet #9 and Hawaiian Supersweet #10 emerge as eminent, enduring, excellent examples of open-pollinated variety tropical corn, entitled OPV, and of hybrid tropical corn, respectively.
OPV corn plants (kulina locally; Zea mays scientifically, from Latin zēa, from Greek ζειά, “[domesticated wheat] spelt” and from Spanish maíz, “maize”) favor fertile, well-drained soils.
Mildly acidic to neutral or slightly alkaline, moist, open, pliable, porous, sunny soil pH levels 5.5 through 7.0 germinate clean, single-planted OPV seeds within one week. One- to 2-inch (2.54- to 5.08-centimeter) field and garden seed-planting depths and 6- to 9-inch (15.24- to 22.86-centimeter) field and garden between-plant spacing herald OPV seedlings. Field and garden plantings respectively impel 30-inch (76.2-centimeter) and 24-inch (60.96-centimeter) between-row spacing, for 25,000- to 29,000-plant densities per acre and four 8-foot- (2.44-meter-) long rows.
Hundred-plus-yard (91.44-meter) distances from all corn apart Hawaiian Supersweet, weekly watering and wind-parallel rows never jeopardize Hawaiian Supersweet with inedible kernels, moisture-stress wilting and missing-seed ears.
One- to 2-inch (2.54- to 5.08-centimeter) and 2- to 3-inch (5.08- to 7.62-centimeter) weekly watering respectively until and as of week seven keep garden OPV moisturized.
Field OPV languishes without 400,000-gallon (1,514,164.71-liter) weekly watering per acre and, like garden OPV, with 24.86-plus (40-plus-kilometer) hourly winds and 2,000-plus-foot (609.6-plus-meter) altitudes above sea level. Average daytime, kau (“summer”), sea-level, sunny temperatures of 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29.4 degrees Celsius) from May through October mature field and garden OPV within 10 weeks. Average daytime hooilo (from Hawaiian ho’oilo, “winter”), sea-level temperatures of 78 degrees Fahrenheit (25.6 degrees Celsius) net 10-plus-week maturities because of cooler temperatures and overcast skies.
Mature phases present harvestable ears, with well-filled points, as 2.5-foot- (0.76-meter-) high parts of 6-foot- (1.83-meter-) tall plants 16 to 18 days after silk-producing wind pollination.
Hawaiian Supersweet obtains harvestable options as immature baby ears with observable silks from flowering occurrences in 50- to 65-day-old lowland and 95- to 110-day-old highland occupancies.
Mature phases present harvestable ears, with well-filled points, as 2.5-foot- (0.76-meter-) high parts of 6-foot- (1.83-meter-) tall plants 16 to 18 days after silk-producing wind pollination.
Crabgrass (Digitaria), foxtail (Setaria verticillata), Johnsongrass (Sorghum halapense), sandbur (Cenchrus echinatus) and wiregrass (Eleusine indica) as well as nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) quell field and garden OPV. Apple-of-Peru (Nicandra physalodes), cocklebur (Xanthium saccharatum), dayflower (Commelina diffusa), ivy-gourd (Coccinia grandis), paintbrush (Emilia sonchifolia), pigweed (Amaranthus), purslane (Portulaca oleracea) and spurge (Euphorbia hirta) ravage them. But no bacterial, northern corn, southern corn, yellow leaf blights; brown spot; common and Southern rusts; ear, kernel, seedling rots; mosaic viruses; and smut spoil them.
No aphids, beetles, earworms, mites, planthoppers, thrips, weevils threaten Hawaiian Supersweet like predatory birds, deer, livestock, mice, rats and sheep thwart them and nanotrackers trouble MacGyver.
