Darius

Darius corn is a heat-resistant early-maturing hybrid with medium-early maturity group (FAO 280), developed by the company LLC "TK ART – AGRO". This hybrid is characterized by high yield potential, reaching 16 tons per hectare, with an average yield in trials of 10.7 tons per hectare. Plants reach a height of about 290 cm, with ear attachment height of 110 cm. Grain is dent-shaped, with row numbers ranging from 14 to 16 and 37–39 kernels per row, thousand kernel weight is 310 g. Grain moisture at harvest is 16–17%.

The Darius hybrid is characterized by rapid early growth and high drought resistance, making it suitable for cultivation using both intensive and extensive technologies. It has high resistance to diseases and stress factors: resistance to Helminthosporium and Fusarium is rated 9 points, to wilting — also 9 points, to blister rust and root rot — 9 points, and drought resistance reaches maximum 10 points. Seeds are treated with fungicides (fludioxonil and metalaxyl-M) and coated with a polymer dye for protection.

Darius corn is suitable for grain use and distinguished by good yield performance due to its dent-shaped grain. It is versatile in application and can be used under various climatic conditions due to its resistance to adverse factors. Such a hybrid will be an excellent choice for farmers aiming to obtain high and stable corn yields.
