Fresh field corn seed (produced during the previous season) which has been properly handled will normally germinate between 95% and 99% percent of the seeds. Any of a number of factors can reduce the actual observed germination percentage.
Corn seed germination requires temperatures at least 50 °F. Under the correct conditions, it takes 3-6 days for the sweet corn seed to germinate.

No, corn typically has one cotyledon. It is considered a monocotyledon plant, meaning it has one seed leaf upon germination.
Germination means to sprout, to hatch, and applies to anything that comes from a seed. Germination rates vary from plant species to species, even between varieties, and the weather (water, temperature, sunlight) is a big factor, but generally it takes 5-10 days for a corn seed to germinate.
The difference is that the bean seed germinates by dicots and the corn seed germinates by monocots.
For seed germination of corn, the key conditions needed are adequate moisture, suitable temperature (around 60-85°F), oxygen, and proper soil structure. The seeds should also be planted at the correct depth and spacing in well-drained soil with good fertility levels.
Warm soil and moisture for germination. After germination is when all of the other factors affect plant growth. There are Organic Seed Starters available which can change days of normal germination into hours. The best Organic Seed Starter I have used changed the 7- 10 day germination printed on the packet to only 24 hours.
There are three types of germination 1.Hypogeal germination and epigeal germination and Cleistogeal germination. Hypogeal Germination: In this kind of Germination, the seed leaves or the cotyledons remain under the surface of soil. example: pea seeds - Epigeal Germination: In this type of Germination, the seed leaves grow above the ground on the new shoot. example: ash tree -Cleistogeal Germination: A special leaf that has a central umbrella like stalk forms above the ground which protects the shoot from any damage. So the development of the shoot can not be seen.
An important thing to know when planting corn is, when would be the best time to plant corn. The climate to plant corn should be just right. Unlike other plants like potato which need cold temperature, corn crops are best grown when the ground temperature is warm which is enough to make sure proper germination and growth. Hope this helps.
Germination.
It is unlikely to affect germination. However, thyme oil or clove oil would be more effective than pine oil. See the related link below.
Assuming this is corn for agricultural use and not for a garden, typically 90-99% will germinate. The percent germination guaranteed is usually found on the bag, typically either 90% or 95%. I believe 90% is the industry minimum.
