Alar — a mid-season hybrid of sweet corn with FAO 300, intended for cultivation under various climatic conditions. This variety is characterized by high yield, reaching up to 165 centners per hectare, and resistance to drought, lodging, as well as diseases and pests. Due to its versatility, the hybrid is successfully grown with minimal or zero soil tillage, making it an optimal choice for modern farms aiming to reduce costs on agrotechnology and chemical protection.
Alar corn has a cream-colored, dent-type kernel, plant height of about 260 cm, and ear attachment height of 110 cm. The average number of rows per ear is 16–18, with 32–38 kernels per row. The 1000-kernel weight reaches 316 g, and the grain moisture at harvest is 14–15%, which facilitates effective drying and simplifies harvest operations. The hybrid’s initial growth energy equals 9, ensuring good germination and plant development.
Advantages of the Alar variety include high adaptability to various soil-climatic conditions, resistance to stress factors and diseases, as well as excellent taste qualities of the kernels. Rapid water release reduces drying costs, and stable high yield makes this hybrid attractive for farmers and gardeners focused on efficient and environmentally sustainable production.
