Corn hybrid ALMAZ is a medium-early variety recommended for early sowing. This variety is characterized by high cold resistance and intensive early growth, ensuring stable yields of both grain and silage. Plants reach a height of 250-270 cm, with ears attached at a height of 80-90 cm. The ear has medium length and thickness, a slightly conical shape, contains 14 rows of kernels, each with 32-35 kernels.

The potential yield reaches 130 centners of grain and 600 centners of green mass per hectare, making it attractive for cultivation in various climatic zones. The plant has straight, medium-width leaves with a small angle between leaf blades and stems, as well as weak anthocyanic pigmentation on various parts of the plant, indicating its adaptive properties. Corn ALMAZ was developed and recommended by the Institute of Plant Sciences named after V.Ya. Yuryev of NAAN Ukraine and registered in 2009. The variety is characterized by good tassel structure with medium-dense and medium-length lateral branches. These characteristics ensure plant stability and high-quality yield. Due to its properties, variety ALMAZ is suitable for cultivation in various regions and can be used both for grain production and for silage.
