Hybrid sweet corn DKC4302 is a mid-early variety with FAO 230, intended for grain use. It features a dent kernel type and high stability, along with plasticity, ensuring excellent adaptation to various soil-climate conditions, including light soils. The hybrid tolerates low temperatures and exhibits cold resistance, making it suitable for cultivation in areas with adequate but unstable moisture, such as the Polissia and Forest Steppe of Ukraine.
DKC4302 is resistant to major diseases, particularly stalk and ear fusarium, enhancing its reliability in agronomic practices. It is recommended to use traditional or minimal tillage, and soil temperature at planting should not be lower than 8°C. The hybrid can withstand monoculture, but timely harvest is required to prevent overripening.
Optimal planting density depends on moisture levels: under adequate moisture, 70,000–75,000 plants per hectare are recommended, and under unstable conditions — 65,000–70,000 plants per hectare. DKC4302 is characterized by high yield and good grain quality, making it an advantageous choice for farmers seeking stable and high-quality grain harvests.
