Corn DKC 3476 is a mid-early hybrid with high cold tolerance and tolerance to stalk borer damage. This hybrid exhibits high relative disease resistance, including resistance to Fusarium and gray mold, as well as rapid water release. The kernel type is cream-colored, with a high starch content exceeding 72%, making it attractive for biofuel production, particularly biogas and bioethanol.
Hybrid DKC 3476 is recommended for cultivation in areas with sufficient but unstable moisture, with an optimal soil temperature for sowing of 9 °C. It is suitable for intensive cultivation methods and can be successfully grown both in monoculture and under traditional or minimum tillage. Planting density varies depending on moisture conditions: 75-85 thousand plants per hectare under sufficient moisture and 60-70 thousand under unstable conditions.
Plants feature a strong stem reaching 260-275 cm in height with a high ear position (100-120 cm), contributing to lodging resistance. The ear contains 16-18 rows of kernels, with 35-41 kernels per row, totaling 560 to 680 kernels. The 1000-kernel weight is 260-360 grams. The hybrid is resistant to lodging and suitable for use as grain or silage, expanding its application potential in agriculture.
