Hybrid maize DKC3401 belongs to mid-season varieties with high productivity potential and plasticity, making it especially effective in zones with sufficient but unstable moisture, including partially deficient. It has a strong root system and sturdy stem, allowing it to be grown under various soil preparation systems, such as conventional, minimal, Strip-Till, and NO-tillage. The hybrid adapts well to different soil types, except sandy ones, and demonstrates high disease resistance, particularly to stalk and ear fusarium, as well as good cold and drought tolerance. DKC3401 is characterized by high initial growth energy, which contributes to successful plant development even under adverse conditions. It pollinates well and forms large kernels, ensuring high yields reaching 28 t/ha. The hybrid performs best under high mineral nutrition and lower recommended planting densities, which vary depending on moisture conditions: from 55,000 to 75,000 plants per hectare. This hybrid is resistant to monoculture and can withstand short-term delays, making it convenient for various agronomic schemes. Soil temperature for sowing should not be lower than +8°С, ensuring optimal seed germination conditions. DKC3401 is intended for grain use and is characterized by stability and reliability, making it a profitable choice for farmers aiming to obtain high-quality yields under diverse climatic and soil conditions.
