Corn DKC 2971 is an early-maturing hybrid with FAO 200, exhibiting high resistance to diseases, including Stewart's wilt, as well as to lodging and dense planting. This variety features a regenerative stem, leaf, and root type, ensuring its resilience and adaptability to various growing conditions. Plant height reaches 270-280 cm, which contributes to good development and yield formation.
The grain of corn DKC 2971 is dent-type, with 1000-grain weight varying from 260 to 380 grams. The ear has a length of 22-24 cm and a diameter of 4.0-4.5 cm, with rows ranging from 12 to 14 and kernels per row from 37 to 45, totaling 450 to 660 kernels per ear. Ear attachment height is 100-110 cm, facilitating harvest convenience and high yield.
The hybrid is recommended for cultivation using adaptive technologies, allows sowing at soil temperatures of 7-8 °C, and is suitable for traditional and minimum soil tillage. Recommended planting density is 65,000-70,000 plants per hectare in dry conditions and 75,000-85,000 plants per hectare in well-watered zones. DKC 2971 quickly clears the field after harvest, allowing timely subsequent agronomic operations. Additionally, this variety is suitable for biofuel production, including biogas and bioethanol, expanding its application within the agro-industrial complex.
