Bali CS corn is an early bicolor super-sweet hybrid of type SH2, developed by the Dutch company Syngenta. The vegetative period is 65-75 days, allowing for an early harvest. The plant is compact, reaching a height of 150-180 cm, with a branched root system and broad leaves. The hybrid is characterized by high productivity, resistance to a wide range of diseases, adaptability to various agroclimatic conditions, and plasticity to agronomic practices. Each plant forms up to two cylindrical ears, 21-22 cm long and about 5-6 cm in diameter, with 16-18 rows of kernels—70% yellow and 30% white.
The kernels of Bali CS corn are tender, juicy, and sweet, with a sugar content of about 28%. They retain their flavor and texture even after storage and thermal processing, making the hybrid suitable for both fresh market use and processing, including canning and freezing. The corn is resistant to cracking, which further enhances its commercial quality and appeal to consumers.
For successful cultivation, it is recommended to sow the hybrid in warmed soil to promote rapid seed germination. After emergence, the plant tolerates temperature fluctuations well. Due to its characteristics, Bali CS is suitable for open-ground cultivation in various regions, providing a stable and high yield of early produce with excellent flavor and commercial qualities.
