ANA 1416

Consistent Yield for the Fresh Market

When selecting seeds for the fresh consumption segment, we prioritize organoleptic properties and marketability above all else. The "ANA 1416" hybrid from Swiss breeder Syngenta has proven itself to be a reliable mid-early hybrid, specifically focused on producing market-ready yields with superior consumer qualities.

Vegetation and Grain Characteristics

The flint-type grain with its vibrant yellow-orange color hits the exact visual standard currently demanded by the fresh produce market. The kernels are dense and well-developed, which is critical for successful transportation and pre-sale handling. Being a mid-early hybrid, it allows us to effectively manage our supply chain, reaching the market at the optimal time when demand for fresh corn peaks.

Practical Aspects of Cultivation

• Manageability: The hybrid responds predictably to agricultural practices. Thanks to Swiss genetics, the plant shows strong seedling vigor, making field management easier early in the season.
• Application: The core value of ANA 1416 lies in its fresh market potential. We use it specifically for ear corn sales, where taste and appearance are significantly more important than total dry weight.
• Harvesting: The optimal harvest window allows us to deliver a high-quality product that maintains its visual appeal throughout the logistics chain.

Working with this material from Syngenta provides consistent results without unpleasant surprises. For professional growers supplying retail chains or farmers' markets, ANA 1416 is a robust tool that minimizes quality-loss risks before the product reaches the shelves.
