Please how did you go about it, from getting the seeds to planting them, i heard some commercial seeds are sterilized hence they cannot germinate.

Hello. I searched this on google and found myself here. Is there anyone with this experience? Please share.

Some very ignorant people were laughing at OP. I hope people here grows up enough to keep quiet when they don't understand questions being asked.

Pop corn is a different variety of corn.

I doubt if you can get the seed locally. You can ask at iita or national cereal research institute if they have.

Your best bet is to import the seed.

You have to grow it in isolation from other types of corn so that they do not cross pollinate it.

Pop corn is different because it has a very tough seed coat the traps the steam generated when it is heated until the the internal pressure is very high, enough to make it pop explosively.

If you don't plant your pop corn away from other corn varieties it will be cross pollinated and the resultant seeds may not have the required poping characteristics.
