Hybrid corn DKC4515 is a high-yielding variety with FAO 360, characterized by high potential yield and drought resistance during flowering. This hybrid is early-maturing and suitable for intensive cultivation techniques. Seeding can be performed at soil temperatures as low as 9 °C. Recommended plant density at harvest varies depending on conditions: 50,000-60,000 plants per hectare in dry conditions and 70,000-75,000 plants per hectare in well-watered zones. DKC4515 is suitable for monoculture, can be used with conventional and minimum tillage, effectively utilizes enhanced agrofond, and can be used for silage, biogas, and bioethanol production. The plant features a strong root system and well-leafed stem reaching 260-270 cm in height. The ear is positioned at approximately 110 cm, contains 16-20 rows of kernels, with 37-42 kernels per row, totaling 620-740 kernels per ear. The 1000-kernel weight is 280-350 g. The hybrid exhibits high initial growth energy (8.0), good cold tolerance (8.5), and drought resistance (8.5). It also demonstrates high resistance to diseases such as common rust and Fusarium stalk and ear rot (both 9.0), as well as root and stalk lodging (9.0). The variety's stability and plasticity are rated at 9.0, and its water release at maturity is good. DKC4515 shows high adaptability to various soil-climate conditions, including Polissia, Forest Steppe, and Steppe of Ukraine. The hybrid tolerates drought well and can be grown under irrigation or in dry conditions. Due to its high tolerance to common corn diseases and its ability to rapidly release moisture at maturity, this variety is a reliable choice for farmers seeking stable and high yields under diverse agronomic conditions.
