Overview
About this product
An extensive-type grain maize hybrid with dent kernels. Per the maker, it gives a stable result in drought and dries down quickly, and its strong stem makes it resistant to lodging.
Short stature and low ear placement reduce harvest losses. It realises its potential under extensive and intermediate technology.
The maker recommends the hybrid for the Steppe, Forest-Steppe and Polissia with a plant density of 60–65 thousand plants/ha under insufficient moisture and 70–75 thousand under sufficient moisture. Sow at the optimally early dates (from +8 °C) and the optimal dates (from +10 °C).
