Maize CSC 5291

CSC 5291 — this is a medium-early simple two-line hybrid corn, intended for grain production. The hybrid's maturity group corresponds to FAO 290-300, enabling it to successfully adapt to various climatic conditions. Plants reach a height of 180-200 cm, have medium leaf width, and exhibit anthocyanic coloration of the first leaf sheath. The ear is cylindrical in shape with toothed yellow kernels, with 16 to 20 rows per ear and 26 to 30 kernels per row. The 1000-kernel weight varies between 280-340 g, ensuring a high milling yield — around 80-82%. The hybrid CSC 5291 is characterized by high yield and resistance to various stress factors. The average yield in the Central Black Earth region reaches 75.4 c/ha, while in more favorable conditions in the Krasnodar Territory, Stavropol Territory, and Karachay-Cherkess Republic, the yield ranges from 104 to 110 c/ha. The hybrid shows resistance to diseases such as stalk rot, ear rot, powdery mildew, and fusarium, as well as pests like corn stem borer. Additionally, CSC 5291 tolerates drought and other adverse conditions, making it a versatile and reliable choice for various regions. The recommended planting density for maximum productivity is 70-75 thousand plants per hectare under optimal conditions and 55-60 thousand under dry conditions. The hybrid is gradually gaining popularity among farmers due to its stable yield and positive reviews, outperforming many imported competitors in yield performance. Optimal cultivation zones include the North Caucasus, Central Black Earth, and Volga-Vyatka regions, confirming its adaptability and high efficiency under various agroclimatic conditions.
