Pop corn is a special type of flint differentiating from the ordinary maize by formation of large "pop corns" after kernel explosion as a response to heat. Pop corn hybrids have higher yield and high popping volume, so their production is economically justified. In order to achieve the maximum popping potential it is necessary to perform harvest when the grain moisture is bellow 20, to keep undamaged kernel pericarp and to enable grain moisture of 13-14 during popping.
