Maize DKC3566

Corn hybrid DKC3566, known as "King of Fields", is a medium-maturing hybrid with dent-type kernels, intended for grain and silage production. This variety is distinguished by its high productivity and adaptability, making it popular among farmers. Plant height reaches 210-250 cm, and the ear is positioned at a height of 100-110 cm. Each row contains 37-43 kernels, and the number of rows per ear varies from 16 to 18. Thousand-kernel weight ranges from 270 to 380 grams, indicating large kernel size and high-quality yield.

Agronomic characteristics of DKC3566 include high initial growth energy, cold tolerance, and lodging resistance, ensuring plant stability and plasticity under various climatic conditions. The variety's drought resistance is rated very high, enabling successful cultivation in areas with insufficient moisture and even in arid regions. Water use efficiency is also high, contributing to effective water utilization and improved yield quality.

The variety exhibits high resistance to major corn diseases, including common smut and southern rust, as well as Fusarium stalk and ear rot. This significantly reduces the risk of yield loss and the need for intensive protective treatments. Recommended planting density varies depending on the growing region: in areas with adequate moisture — 70-80 thousand plants per hectare, in areas with insufficient moisture — 60-70 thousand, and in arid conditions — 55-60 thousand plants per hectare. All these characteristics make DKC3566 a reliable choice for obtaining high-quality corn yields.
