Corn Bogatyr' is a high-recovery hybrid with dual-purpose application, intended for both grain and silage production, and also suitable for biogas production. The plant is robust, tall, with stem length from 3.3 to 3.4 meters, well-leafed. The ears are attached at a height of about 110 cm and have a conical-cylindrical shape, consisting of 14-16 rows of large, glassy kernels. The 1000-kernel weight is approximately 320 grams, indicating the size and quality of the harvest. The hybrid has a medium rate of moisture loss during maturation, which facilitates harvesting and subsequent processing.
Recommended planting density varies depending on soil moisture levels: in zones with sufficient moisture, the optimal density is 85-90 thousand plants per hectare; under insufficient moisture — 65-75 thousand; and under unstable moisture conditions — 45-55 thousand per hectare. Bogatyr' demonstrates high tolerance to sharp temperature fluctuations and drought conditions, as well as resistance to diseases such as powdery mildew and helminthosporiosis, making it a reliable choice for various climatic zones, especially for the Polesie and Forest Steppe regions.
The hybrid has a high yield potential: when grown for grain, it can yield up to 120 centners per hectare, and in real field conditions, the yield reaches 95-100% of the genetic potential, corresponding to 12 tons of grain and 85 tons of green mass per hectare. Due to the possibility of utilizing all parts of the plant for processing, Corn Bogatyr' is a universal and economically advantageous solution for agricultural producers.
