Bc 288 B

Hybrid corn Bc 288 B is an intensive variety with a flinty kernel type and yellow color. It belongs to the mid-early maturity group with a vegetative period of 110 to 124 days and a FAO rating of 290. The ear is conical-cylindrical, medium length, with medium-row kernels. The kernels are characterized by a yellow-orange hue and high starch content — from 73.6 to 75.7%. The milling yield reaches 80-81%, indicating high hybrid productivity. The hybrid demonstrates high resistance to various stress factors and diseases. It exhibits excellent resistance to lodging (8.8-9 points), helminthosporiosis, and corn smut (up to 9 points). Drought and frost resistance are rated at 9 points, ensuring reliable plant development under adverse climatic conditions. The hybrid’s stress resistance is 8 points, confirming its adaptability to various external influences. The recommended planting density at harvest is 65-70 thousand plants per hectare in well-watered zones and 60-65 thousand in less watered zones. The hybrid seeds are treated with fungicides and insecticides, providing protection against diseases and pests in early growth stages. High moisture release and medium ear stalk length contribute to efficient ripening and harvest, making Bc 288 B a profitable choice for grain production.
