Elan is a very quick growing corn salad, for growing both under protection and on open ground. Compact, smoothleaved plants that have a high individual weight. Resistant to downy mildew. Tendancy for curling when sown early, hence not suitable for the first summer sowings. It is the one of our varieties that is commercially most widely grown.

Cultivation

Seed germination temperature: 10-15 °CPlanting distance: direct sowing ca. 10-30 x 1 cm

Optimal amount of plants: 500-700 plants/m²; ca. 100 soil block/m² with 5-7 seeds/soil blockSowing depth: ca. 1 cmAmount of seed needed: ca. 150 g/a; 80-100 seeds per running metreNote: Every lot of corn salad seeds is tested for seed borne diseases Phoma and Peronospora val. (downy mildew). If spores are discovered, the effected lot is given warm water treatment. This ensures the destruction of infective spores. However we cannot guarantee that a corn salad crop grown from our seeds will not be infested with mildew and Phoma. Infections like these may have different causes such as cultivation methods, soil or climate conditions.
