Sugarcane corn BIGBEAT is a medium-early plastic hybrid with high dry matter yield and elevated starch content in kernels. The maturity group is FAO 290, ensuring optimal ripening timing for various climatic conditions. The plant features a strong root system and rapid early growth, contributing to resistance against lodging and drought. The kernel type is cream-colored, with large kernels possessing high bypass starch content, making this hybrid particularly valuable for silage, biogas, and grain production.
Morphological characteristics of BIGBEAT corn include plant height of 300–310 cm and ear attachment height of 120–130 cm. The number of rows ranges from 14 to 16, with 35–37 kernels per row. The 1000-kernel weight is 310–320 g, indicating large kernel size and high yield potential, reaching 75–80 tons per hectare. Plants have erect leaf type and remontant growth type, ensuring their plasticity and adaptability to various growing conditions.
Seeding density recommendations depend on water availability: 75–85 thousand plants per hectare under sufficient moisture, 55–65 thousand under medium conditions, and 45–55 thousand under insufficient moisture. The hybrid is successfully grown in various regions, including forest-steppe, steppe, and meadow areas, as evidenced by its use in regions such as Sumy, Chernihiv, Rivne, Volyn, Cherkasy, Kirovohrad, Khmelnytsky, Dnipro, and Vinnytsia.
