A 2542 Z is a high-yielding corn hybrid designed for cultivation in various climatic zones, including steppe, forest-steppe, and Polissia. It is characterized by high adaptability to stress factors such as drought, frost, and pests, ensuring a stable and high yield. The hybrid exhibits high winter hardiness and rapid grain moisture release, which contributes to good maturation and reduced losses during harvest.
The grain of corn A 2542 Z has a yellow-orange color and a tooth-like oval shape. The 1000-grain weight ranges from 255–270 grams, indicating seed density and quality. The hybrid is suitable for both grain production and silage purposes, yielding grain up to 12–15 tons per hectare and silage up to 450–550 centners per hectare, depending on growing conditions.
Recommended seeding rates vary by region: 50–55 thousand plants per hectare in steppe areas, 75–80 thousand in forest-steppe, and 85–90 thousand plants per hectare in Polissia. Plant height reaches 330–340 cm, ensuring good leafing and potential for high yields of green mass. Due to its characteristics, hybrid A 2542 Z is a universal solution for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality corn yield under various agroclimatic conditions.
