Anjou 450 corn is a late-maturing hybrid with FAO 450, characterized by high yield potential and versatility of use. Plants reach a height of 110-120 cm at ear attachment, with dent kernels, 22-24 rows, and 60 kernels per row. Starch content in the kernels exceeds 72%, making this hybrid particularly valuable for bioethanol, biogas, and silage production. Anjou 450 exhibits good drought and cold tolerance, confirmed by 8-point scale ratings, as well as rapid water shedding, which promotes effective maturation even under adverse climatic conditions. The hybrid demonstrates excellent resistance to diseases and pests, as well as to stress factors such as lodging and stem breakage. In Moldova and Ukraine, Anjou 450 matures in 130-135 days, while plants retain green mass until full kernel maturity. Potential grain yield is 13-15 tons per hectare, and silage mass — 50-60 tons per hectare. Recommended plant density varies according to moisture conditions: 80-95 thousand plants per hectare under unstable moisture, and 75-80 thousand plants per hectare under dry conditions. Growing Anjou 450 corn is profitable due to its high adaptability to variable weather conditions and low water requirements. This hybrid is suitable for planting in regions with variable climates, where drought and disease resistance are crucial. Choosing this variety allows farmers to increase economic efficiency of production, as it combines high yield, resistance to adverse factors, and versatility in food, feed, and energy applications.
