How many seeds of corn in 1 kg?
Corn (maize) can have widely varying seed counts per pound depending on the kind of corn (dent, flint, sweet, etc.) and whether the seed has been sized for mechanical planting. An approximate average across all types and sizes would be about 1,800 seeds per pound, but it can vary from as few as 1,200 per pound to over 3,500 per pound. Standard types of sweet corn, either sugary (su) or sugar enhanced (se), have about 2,000 to 3,000 seeds per pound. Supersweet corn (sh2), generally ranges between 3,000 to 5,000 seeds per pound. Growers typically plant about 24,000 seeds per acre. Most professional seed companies offer corn seed by its seed count, not by weight. This allows the grower to more precisely purchase his or her needs.

If the su1 is recessive, you have normal sweet corn such as the hybrid Golden Bantam Cross. If the sh2 gene is recessive, you have a supersweet such as Supersweet Jubilee. The very sweetest sweet corn varieties have both genes recessive, but are somewhat difficult to grow because they have very little starch reserves in the endosperm of the seed.
