Overview
Blaze is a yellow sugar-enhanced (se) hybrid released by Crookham in 1992. The cylindrical ears are about 8 inches long, fill out fully, and carry 16 rows of narrow, deep kernels. It was developed with processing in mind, so ear size is large and recovery is good. On the disease side it has single-gene resistance to leaf rust and tolerates northern corn leaf blight. Home growers can treat it as an early- to main-season variety that handles a range of conditions.
