Maize BB 204

The BB 204 corn hybrid is a medium-early variety with FAO 270 and dent kernel type. Plants reach a height of 230–250 cm and have a vegetation period of 106–120 days. The ear has a medium number of kernels per row (38–43) and 16–18 rows, with an ear attachment height of 100–110 cm. The 1000-kernel weight varies between 300–315 g, indicating good yield potential.

This hybrid features high germination strength and cold resistance, allowing for early planting and successful cultivation under various climatic conditions. BB 204 demonstrates rapid growth and good adaptation to changing weather conditions. Due to its medium height and strong stalk, the plant is resistant to lodging and adverse environmental factors, as confirmed by high lodging (9), drought (8), and disease resistance scores (e.g., for sooty mold and helminthosporium, both 9 points).

The recommended planting density at harvest is 65–70 thousand plants per hectare in well-watered zones and 60–65 thousand per hectare in drier conditions. BB 204 seeds are treated with fungicides and insecticides, providing additional protection against diseases and pests. The hybrid’s potential yield under production conditions reaches 11.5–14.2 tons per hectare, making it a profitable choice for farmers aiming for stable and high yields.
