Grey captions say what stands behind that particular figure. Breeding, growth habit and fruit characters carry no caption because they rest on the record's sources as a whole rather than citing their own; closing that gap is ordinary outstanding work, not a finished job.
The species here is supported by Relative Resistance of Sweet Corn Varieties to Common Diseases in the Northeast and GRIN Taxonomy for Plants. These claims name their own evidence rather than resting on the record's source list as a whole, because a species that distinguishes a variety, or an attribution to a breeding programme, is worth being able to check on its own.
Origin & history
A white sugary hybrid that became the benchmark for Southern and Mid-Atlantic fresh-market sweet corn, and is still the variety many growers name when asked what good sweet corn tastes like.
Traits
Disease resistance
| Code | Disease | Level | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| - | Common Rust (Puccinia sorghi) | 8 on a 1-9 scale where 1 is most resistant | Independently observed |
| - | Northern Corn Leaf Blight (Exserohilum turcicum) | 3 on a 1-9 scale where 1 is most resistant | Independently observed |
Common Rust: Recorded at disease level. This pathogen has 3 named races that varieties meet differently, and the source we cite does not distinguish them.
Northern Corn Leaf Blight: Recorded at disease level. This pathogen has 2 named races that varieties meet differently, and the source we cite does not distinguish them.
