Abstract

Field corn in Thailand has been grown mainly for export. It’s most desirable characteristics are found in the flinted and semi-flinted types which have a deep yellow kernel and hard endosperm. A corn variety that possesses such characteristics is known locally as Guatemala corn. This variety has been introduced from Guatemala in 1952. After five successive generations of selection and tests, it has proved to adapt well and yield best among corn varieties to farmers in 1959(1).
