Maize AS 15270

AS 15270 — a medium-early maize hybrid intended for grain production. The plant is characterized by medium height and medium leaf width, with moderate intensity anthocyanic pigmentation of the first leaf sheath and a rounded apex. Leaves are slightly curved, with a medium angle between leaf blade and stem. Roots at the stem have medium anthocyanic pigmentation. Tassel flowering time is early, with weak anthocyanic pigmentation of the ear husk, and husk bases are absent or very weakly expressed. Tassels are moderately pigmented, with medium ear density. The tassel has a long main axis, higher than the upper lateral branch, forming a medium angle with it. Primary lateral tassel branches are straight or slightly curved, medium length, and numerous. Anthocyanic pigmentation of silk and leaf sheath is absent or very weak. The ear is of medium length, thick, cylindrical, with medium-length peduncle and medium number of rows of kernels. Kernels are dent-type, with yellow-orange upper part and orange lower part. Anthocyanic pigmentation of ear stalk is of medium intensity. Vegetative period averages 123 days, 2 days shorter than standard. Grain moisture at harvest is 28.9%, 3.4% lower than standard, facilitating drying and storage. Hybrid AS 15270 demonstrates high yield — average regional yield is 59.3 c/ha, 10.4% higher than standard, with maximum yield reaching 93.8 c/ha. The hybrid exhibits resistance to stalk rot and moderate resistance to ear Fusarium, enhancing its reliability and reducing crop loss risks. These characteristics make AS 15270 an attractive choice for farmers focused on obtaining high-quality and stable grain.
