The DKC 4860 corn hybrid is a high-yielding mid-late maturity variety with FAO 380, intended for grain production. The plant features a strong stalk and robust root system, providing resistance to stress conditions and adaptability to various soil-climate zones, including Polissia, Forest Steppe, and Steppe of Ukraine. The hybrid demonstrates high tolerance to common corn diseases, contributing to stable yields and reduced losses.
DKC 4860 exhibits rapid moisture release during the ripening period, facilitating harvest and reducing the risk of yield losses due to adverse weather conditions. Its dent-type grain contains more than 72% starch and has a 1000-grain weight ranging from 300 to 360 grams, ensuring high product quality. Plants reach a height of 210-230 cm, forming 16-18 rows of kernels with approximately 37 kernels per row, which contributes to high density and yield.
The hybrid is suitable for various cultivation technologies and is characterized by plasticity, drought resistance, cold tolerance, and high initial growth energy. Recommended planting density varies depending on moisture conditions, allowing optimization of agronomy according to specific climatic features. DKC 4860 is a reliable choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality corn yield.
