About Dakota Black Popcorn, Corn Seed
Dakota Black Popcorn produces glossy, deep purple-black kernels arranged in well-filled ears. The ornamental ears make striking fall decorations and deliver excellent flavor when popped. Sturdy plants grow about 6–7 feet tall and typically produce one ear per stalk. Bred by Prairie Road Organic Farm in North Dakota, this adaptable variety performs across many climates. Allow ears to dry fully, then finish curing indoors for the best popping quality.

Tips
Pests & Diseases
Northern leaf blight, gray leaf spot, common rust, smut, and ear rots are major corn diseases. Choose resistant hybrids and rotate or bury infected residue. Remove smut galls before they rupture. Moldy ears may contain mycotoxins; discard them rather than feeding or saving affected grain.
Corn earworms, European corn borers, armyworms, cutworms, wireworms, and birds are common. Monitor silks and whorls, use appropriate biological controls, rotate fields, and protect ripening ears when necessary.
