AFK RED KhET

Ukrainian breeding for northern latitudes

The "AFK RED KHET" corn hybrid is the result of long-term development by specialists at the "Agrofirma Kolos" LLC. Officially registered in the State Register of Plant Varieties of Ukraine in 2026, this hybrid represents a significant milestone in domestic breeding. Developed as a classic F1 hybrid, it is specifically designed to produce stable grain yields adapted to the unique environmental conditions of the Polissya region.

Adaptation and morphological traits

The primary focus during the development of "AFK RED KHET" was resilience in the Polissya zone. The plant is characterized by significant height, while the upper ear is attached relatively low, which contributes to better lodging resistance. According to UPOV data, the hybrid exhibits moderate green leaf intensity and balanced vegetative development.

• Usage: Grain production.
• Maturity group: Mid-season hybrid.
• Ear morphology: Medium length with a large diameter, ensuring a high grain yield.
• Biological traits: Weak stem zigzagging and moderate anthocyanin coloration of the anthers, indicating good adaptability to temperature fluctuations.

"AFK RED KHET" stands out among competitors due to its measured response to stress factors during the early vegetation period. The early silk emergence and stable tassel development allow the hybrid to effectively utilize the daylight hours and moisture availability of northern Ukraine. For farmers operating in the Polissya zone, this hybrid serves as a balanced tool for achieving high-quality grain yields with predictable performance characteristics.
