Sweet corn DKC 5276 is a high-yielding hybrid with FAO 460, designed for cultivation under unstable moisture conditions and dry regions with irrigation potential. This mid-late maturing hybrid features a dent kernel type and high average grain yield across Ukraine, reaching 103.35 c/ha. Recommended planting density varies from 45,000 to 55,000 plants per hectare depending on growing conditions, ensuring optimal land use and maximum yield.
DKC 5276 is characterized by a strong root system and sturdy stem height of 230-260 cm, providing resistance to root and stalk lodging, as well as damage following pest attacks. The ear has a attachment height of 95-115 cm, contains 18 to 22 rows of kernels, with 40 to 46 kernels per row, totaling 720 to 1020 kernels per ear. The 1000-kernel weight is 340-370 grams. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to major diseases such as common smut and fusarium, as well as high cold and drought tolerance, making it a reliable choice for intensive cultivation technologies.
The cultivation technology for this hybrid allows sowing at soil temperatures as low as 9 °C, and accommodates traditional, minimal, and No-Tillage soil preparation methods. DKC 5276 is suitable for monoculture and can be used for both grain production and silage. Its high starch content (over 72%) makes this hybrid promising for biofuel production, including bioethanol and biogas. Due to its good moisture release and stable yield, DKC 5276 is a universal and efficient solution for farmers aiming for high productivity and crop resilience.
