The Perfect Balance: Chia Tai Hybrid Sweet Waxy Corn – Waxy Iris
Experience the elite evolution of glutinous corn with Chia Tai Hybrid Sweet Waxy Corn – Waxy Iris. This F1 Hybrid is meticulously bred to provide the best of both worlds: the satisfyingly chewy texture of traditional Thai waxy corn and the refreshing sweetness of super-sweet varieties. With its striking bicolor appearance and professional-grade performance, Waxy Iris is designed to thrive in tropical conditions while delivering a premium product that stands out in the marketplace.
Unmatched Eating Quality and Field Performance: Waxy Iris is a “Professional Series” standout, favored for its consistent ear uniformity and high commercial weight. The variety is characterized by its vigorous plant habit and a powerful root system that provides excellent lodging resistance against wind. Crucially for tropical growers, it offers high tolerance to major diseases like Downy Mildew and Northern Leaf Blight, ensuring a reliable harvest even in high-pressure environments. The kernels are packed with moisture and flavor, maintaining their signature tenderness for 2-3 days after harvest.
Key Characteristics:
- Innovative 75:25 Hybrid Ratio: Combines ~75% white waxy kernels with ~25% yellow sweet kernels for a multi-dimensional flavor and texture profile.
- Superior Tip Fill: Ears are consistently filled to the very end of the cob, maximizing marketable yield and visual appeal.
- Exceptional Heat Tolerance: Specifically adapted for the Thai climate, maintaining vigor and kernel quality even in high temperatures.
- Extended Freshness: Kernels stay soft and delicious even after cooling, making it ideal for boiled corn vendors and fresh retail.
Professional Planting & Care:
- Soil Preparation: Till soil to a depth of 25 cm and enrich with organic matter. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot during rainy periods.
- Sowing & Spacing: Plant seeds 2–3 cm deep with 25–30 cm between plants and 75 cm between rows to allow for adequate airflow and sunlight.
- Watering & Nutrition: Maintain steady moisture, especially during the critical silking stage. Use a balanced NPK fertilizer (16-16-16) at planting and a nitrogen-rich top-dress (46-0-0) when plants reach 30-40 cm in height.
- Harvesting: Harvest between 62–68 days after sowing. Check for plump kernels and brown, drying silks to ensure peak “soft and sweet” quality.
