Corn hybrid CIX 1123 S is one of the most popular agricultural crops, widely used for animal feed as well as for technical and food purposes. From corn, we obtain grains, flour, vegetable oil, food starch, ethyl alcohol, and sugar. In addition to grains, stalks and leaves are also used in production for manufacturing paper and cardboard. This crop is characterized by high yield and occupies a significant place in global agriculture alongside wheat and rice.
CIX 1123 S is a medium-maturing hybrid with dent-type kernels and plant height ranging from 270 to 300 cm. It has high yields of both grain and silage, and demonstrates good resistance to cold, drought, and heat. The hybrid is tolerant to corn borer and can compensate for sparse planting, making it especially suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones, including the Forest-Steppe and Northern and Southern Steppes.
For successful cultivation of corn hybrid CIX 1123 S, soil should be prepared in autumn by deep plowing and clearing of weeds. Before planting, seeds are recommended to be soaked for several days to accelerate germination. Planting is carried out when the average air temperature is around +12 degrees Celsius. Plants require regular watering and are sun-loving, with spacing between them not less than 50 cm. Timely fertilization, weeding, and removal of suckers are essential to direct nutrients toward growth and ripening of ears. To increase yield, artificial pollination is often applied, allowing even beginners to obtain a good and stable harvest of this low-maintenance crop.
