Coronado sweet corn is a medium-early dent hybrid with high yield potential, reaching up to 200 centners/ha. The hybrid features a strong root system and resistance to major stress factors, ensuring its adaptability to various growing conditions, including tolerance to different soil types. Plants reach a height of 320-330 cm, with ear attachment height of 110-120 cm, promoting good development and ear formation. The number of rows per ear varies from 16 to 18, with 34 to 40 kernels per row, totaling 480 to 640 kernels per ear. The 1000-kernel weight is 360-420 g, protein content — 10.2%, and starch content — 73.5%.
The Coronado hybrid is recommended for cultivation in various regions, including western, central, northeastern, and southern areas. It is well-suited for monoculture due to its high water use efficiency and resistance to adverse conditions. Seeding rates depend on soil moisture levels: 70,000–75,000 seeds/ha under optimal moisture, and 60,000–65,000 seeds/ha under suboptimal conditions. Seed packaging is done in bags of 80,000 seeds.
Coronado not only boasts high yield but also consistent performance, confirmed by harvests across different regions. Its agronomic traits and adaptability make this hybrid an attractive choice for farmers aiming to achieve high-quality, high-yield sweet corn under diverse climatic and soil conditions.
