The DKC 2949 corn hybrid is a simple mid-early variety that is well-suited for cultivation in the Northern and Western parts of Ukraine, especially on low-quality soils. This hybrid is characterized by resistance to lodging and good tolerance to dense planting, enabling stable yields even on weak soils. The plant height reaches 250 cm, and the ear is positioned 70-80 cm above ground level. The seeds have a cream-colored, toothed type, which promotes their quality development and yield.
DKC 2949 belongs to the remontant hybrids and is suitable for zero-tillage cultivation, making it a versatile choice for various agronomic conditions. The hybrid features a well-developed root system, ensuring reliable nutrition and plant resilience. Early emergence and early flowering contribute to early harvest maturity, which is particularly important for regions with limited growing seasons.
The recommended planting density for harvest is 55-70 thousand plants per hectare; under conditions of insufficient moisture, the optimal density is 65-70 thousand plants per hectare, while under adequate moisture, it is 85-95 thousand plants per hectare. The hybrid responds well to medium and high planting densities, allowing it to be adapted to various climatic and soil conditions, ensuring high yield and stable production.
