A 2304 Z

Corn hybrid A 2304 Z is a medium-early simple hybrid with a vegetation period of 105-108 days, intended for grain use. Plants reach a height of 210-230 cm, with ears attached at approximately 100 cm. Ears are 18-20 cm long and contain 14-16 rows of yellow, dent kernels. The 1000-kernel weight is 320-350 g, with a grain yield of up to 80%. The hybrid is characterized by high seedling resistance to short-term cold spells and high early growth rate when sown at early dates. The recommended plant density at harvest varies by region: 35-45 thousand/ha in the steppe zone, 60-70 thousand/ha in the forest-steppe zone, and 90-100 thousand/ha in the Polissia region. The hybrid has medium water content, which promotes optimal maturation and harvest. The grain yield potential reaches 11.5 t/ha, making this variety attractive for agricultural production. For processing and separating kernels from ears, it is recommended to use specialized equipment, such as an electric corn sheller. This device ensures efficient harvesting of seed from the middle part of the ears, which is important for subsequent planting. The corn sheller is characterized by low energy consumption (up to 140 W), high rotational speed (1400 rpm), compact dimensions, and a weight of approximately 5.5 kg, making it convenient to use on farms and private farms.
