The hybrid corn DKC4711 is a high-yielding and high-intensity crop designed for intensive cultivation technologies. This hybrid is early-maturing and suitable for sowing at soil temperatures of 9 °C. It exhibits rapid dry-down during maturity, facilitating harvest and reducing losses. DKC4711 is adapted to various soil-climatic conditions, including the Polissia, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe zones of Ukraine, and possesses high tolerance to common corn diseases such as Fusarium and northern corn leaf blight. The plant features a strong root system and a sturdy stem height of 220 to 270 cm, providing resistance to stalk and root lodging, as well as damage from pests. The leaves have a lanceolate shape, and the stem is well-leafed. The ear attachment height is approximately 100-110 cm, with 16-20 rows of kernels and 36 to 42 kernels per row, resulting in a total kernel count per ear of 610 to 740. The 1000-kernel weight ranges from 280 to 350 g, and starch content exceeds 72%, making the grain particularly valuable for biofuel production. DKC4711 is versatile in use: it is suitable for monoculture, conventional and minimal tillage, and effectively utilizes enhanced agrofunds. The recommended planting density depends on moisture conditions and ranges from 50,000 to 75,000 plants per hectare. The hybrid can be used for grain production, silage, as well as for bioethanol and biogas production. Its high stability and plasticity make it a reliable choice for farmers aiming for maximum yield and product quality.
