Hybrid corn DKC 3420 is a medium-early, plastic hybrid with high yield within its maturity group (FAO 280). It is adapted for early-maturing zones and features large kernels with good moisture shedding, which contributes to rapid grain drying. This hybrid has strong vegetative mass and a robust root system, ensuring resistance to lodging and tolerance to diseases.
Morphological characteristics of DKC 3420 include stems 240-270 cm tall with a remontant type, meaning green mass is retained during grain maturation. The ear has a cylindrical conical shape, 23-25 cm long and 4-5 cm in diameter, with 16-18 rows of kernels and a total of 400-580 kernels. The kernel is cream-yellow in color, with a 1000-kernel weight of 280-300 g.
The hybrid responds well to medium and high planting densities, is adapted to various soil types and cultivation technologies. It is suitable for both grain production and silage. High resistance to lodging and diseases, along with large kernels and rapid moisture shedding, make DKC 3420 an advantageous choice for farmers aiming to achieve a stable and high-quality harvest.
