Corn - Seneca Pronto / Horizon

Taste, sweetness and yield are the chief considerations of most gardeners when choosing corn varieties. We have carefully selected our varieties to cater to these demands. Approximately 5 seeds/gram.
Hints:

  • The ground must be warm and moist for the corn seed to start to germinate. Early planting does not increase yield.
  • Corn can be transplanted. Peat pots can help avoid transplant shock.
  • Plants 3-5 seeds approximately 30 cm apart and 2 cm deep in blocks of 4 rows for wind and pollination factors.
  • Try 6-10 plants in large [25 litre] black plastic pots. It will keep the roots warm for earlier harvest.
  • Harvest when kernels are full and the juice inside them is 'milky'.

  • Seneca Pronto / Horizon - 69 days. Produces ears with superior eating quality as compared to early hybrids. Ears are 23-25 cm [9-10"] long, with 16-18 rows of bright yellow kernels. Tip fill is good with attractive looking flag leaves. Plants are 1.5-1.7 m [5-5.5'] tall with excellent vigor, good emergence and rapid growth potential.
