Corn 156 LA 337 is a tall annual herbaceous plant, reaching up to 4 meters in height and about 7 cm in stem diameter. The stem is upright, solid, with a well-developed fibrous root system penetrating to a depth of 100-150 cm. Air roots form on lower nodes of the stem, providing stability to the plant and aiding in water and nutrient supply. Leaves are large, linear-lanceolate, up to 1 meter long and about 10 cm wide. The vegetative period of corn lasts approximately 90 to 150 days, and the plant is warm-loving, preferring temperatures in the range of 20-24 °C and good sunlight. Variety 156 LA 337 is mid-early maturing and intended for grain production. It has high yield potential and resistance to root and stem lodging, which enhances harvest reliability. Kernel type is dent, and adaptability is medium-plastic, allowing cultivation in various climatic conditions, including forest-steppe, steppe, and meadow regions. Recommended plant density at harvest varies depending on soil moisture levels: from 40-50 thousand plants per hectare under insufficient moisture to 65-75 thousand under adequate moisture. For successful cultivation of corn 156 LA 337, proper soil preparation, timely irrigation, and fertilizer application are required. Protection of the plant from diseases and pests is also crucial to maintain crop health and maximize yield. Corn is widely used not only in agriculture for grain production but also in the food industry, including culinary, canning, and freezing applications. Compliance with agronomic practices and optimal growing conditions enables obtaining high-quality and high-yield harvest of this variety.
