Athena — a high-yielding hybrid of sweet corn for grain use with a vegetation period of 100-115 days, belonging to the mid-early maturity group. Potential yield ranges from 100-110 centners per hectare, making this hybrid attractive for obtaining stable and high yields. The grain type is silvery-ridged, ensuring good technological properties during processing and storage.
Plants are of medium height — 230-250 cm, with ear attachment height of 80-90 cm. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to lodging and stem breakage, which helps preserve the yield under adverse weather conditions. A distinctive feature of this variety is its remontancy — the presence of green stems at maturity, indicating its high viability and ability to regrow.
Athena demonstrates high resistance to major corn diseases and pest damage, reducing the need for intensive chemical protection and enhancing the ecological safety of cultivation. Rapid moisture loss during ripening facilitates harvesting and reduces the risk of crop spoilage. Due to these characteristics, the hybrid is suitable for cultivation under various climatic conditions, ensuring a stable and high-quality yield.
