The White Gold Standard: Chia Tai Hybrid Waxy Corn – Khao Tok

Bring the professional edge to your waxy corn production with Chia Tai Hybrid Waxy Corn – Khao Tok. Part of the prestigious “Professional Series,” Khao Tok (White Flower) is a result of advanced breeding designed to deliver the classic, high-demand characteristics of traditional Thai waxy corn with modern agricultural resilience. This variety is prized for its uniform kernel arrangement and its ability to stay incredibly soft and moist even after cooling—a critical trait for fresh-boiled corn vendors and consumers alike.

Elite Uniformity and Field Vigor: Khao Tok is bred for the professional grower who requires a synchronized harvest and a high percentage of “Grade A” ears. The variety features a vigorous growth habit and a strong root system that adapts well to various soil types in Thailand. One of its standout advantages is its high resistance to Downy Mildew and Northern Leaf Blight, ensuring a stable yield even during the humid rainy season. The ears are remarkably consistent in length (19–21 cm) and offer excellent tip fill, maximizing the marketable weight of every harvest.

Key Characteristics:

• Traditional Aroma & Texture: Delivers a mild, pleasant aroma and a satisfyingly chewy, glutinous texture that define premium white waxy corn.
• Fast-Track Productivity: Reaches maturity in just 60–65 days, allowing for faster crop rotations and quicker returns on investment.
• Excellent Shelf Life: Unlike many older varieties, Khao Tok husks stay a vibrant green and kernels remain tender for 2-3 days post-harvest.
• Market-Leading Uniformity: High germination rates and consistent plant height result in a uniform field that is easy to manage and harvest.

Professional Planting & Care:

1. Soil Preparation: Till the land thoroughly to a depth of 25–30 cm. Adding aged organic compost or manure is highly recommended to provide the nitrogen-rich environment waxy corn thrives in.
2. Sowing & Spacing: Plant seeds 2–3 cm deep. For optimal ear development, maintain a spacing of 20–25 cm between plants and 70–75 cm between rows.
3. Nutrition & Watering: Apply a base fertilizer of NPK 15-15-15 at planting. Follow with a side-dressing of 46-0-0 (Urea) at 20-25 days after sowing to support rapid vegetative growth and large ear formation. Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged.
4. Harvesting: Harvest at the “milk stage” (60–65 days) when the silks have turned dark and the kernels are plump and milky. This ensures the perfect balance of stickiness and tenderness.
