Maize DKC3642

The DKC3642 corn hybrid is a high-yielding variety with excellent grain quality. It features rapid moisture loss at maturity, facilitating harvest and reducing losses. The plant is a remnant type, ensuring its resilience to adverse weather conditions, including low temperatures and drought. Due to its high tolerance to common corn diseases, the hybrid demonstrates stability and reliability across various agroclimatic zones.

DKC3642 adapts well to diverse soil-climatic growing conditions, making it a versatile choice for regions with variable climates. The plant is resistant to lodging, which helps maintain yield and simplifies mechanized harvesting. Recommended growing zones include the Polissia and Forest-Steppe regions of Ukraine, where the hybrid exhibits its best performance.

Morphological and agronomic characteristics of the hybrid include a medium-early maturity group with FAO 270, a cream-colored dent kernel type, plant height of 260–275 cm, ear rows of 16–18, and kernels per row of 26–32. The 1000-seed weight is 300–310 grams, and ear length reaches 26 cm. Recommended planting density varies depending on moisture levels: 70–85 thousand plants per hectare under adequate moisture, and 65–70 thousand plants per hectare under insufficient moisture. High resistance to stress factors such as drought, helminthosporiosis, stalk rot, and ear rot makes DKC3642 a reliable choice for modern farmers.
