Corn hybrid 09 IR is a medium-maturing hybrid with intermediate kernel type, closer to dent. The plant is low-growing with straight, medium-width leaves and a very small angle between leaf blade and stem. The ear is of medium length and thickness, slightly conical, with a short stalk and medium number of rows of kernels. The kernel has a two-color coloration: upper part yellow, lower part white. A distinctive feature of this hybrid is the medium anthocyanic coloration of the first leaf sheath, stem roots, spikelet bracts, and anthers, as well as very strong silk coloration. Flowering time is early-to-medium, which contributes to good adaptation to various climatic conditions. Hybrid 09 IR exhibits good resistance to stalk lodging and high drought tolerance, ensuring stable yields even under adverse weather conditions. Due to its non-reverted moisture release ability, this hybrid is suitable for cultivation both for grain and silage. The potential grain yield ranges from 9.3 to 12.2 tons per hectare, making it an advantageous choice for farmers focused on high productivity. In addition, fermented corn 09 IR weighing 0.9 kg is widely used in fishing for catching carp, amur, and large common carp. It blends well with various liquids and additives and can be mixed with pellets or other bait, enhancing fishing efficiency. Thus, this corn hybrid is versatile and in demand both in agriculture and among recreational anglers.
