Sweet corn DKC3938 is a mid-season hybrid with FAO 320, featuring high yield potential and adaptability to various soil-climatic conditions. This hybrid is characterized by high drought and cold tolerance, enabling successful cultivation in diverse zones, including sandy soils under adequate moisture. Suitable for conventional, minimum, and No-tillage soil preparation methods, as well as monoculture cultivation. Soil temperature for planting should not be below 8 °C. The plant has a robust stem reaching 220-250 cm in height and a well-developed root system, providing resistance to root and stalk lodging. Ear attachment height is 100-110 cm, with 14-18 rows of kernels per ear, 38-44 kernels per row, totaling 610-710 kernels per ear. Kernel type is dent, with 1000-kernel weight ranging from 300-350 g. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to diseases such as Stewart’s wilt and Fusarium stalk and ear rot, and demonstrates good water shedding. DKC3938 is known for its stability and plasticity, allowing high yields even under unstable moisture conditions. Recommended planting density varies according to conditions: 70000-80000 plants per hectare under adequate moisture, 65000-75000 under unstable conditions, and 55000-65000 in drought-prone areas. Due to its characteristics, this hybrid is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high and stable sweet corn yields.
