Maize DKC4741

The DKC4741 corn hybrid is a high-yielding, mid-season variety with FAO 380, designed for conventional tillage technology. It features strong plants ranging from 230 to 270 cm in height and large ears with 18-20 rows of kernels, each containing 36 to 42 kernels. The kernels are dent-type with high starch content exceeding 72%, making this hybrid suitable for grain, silage, and biofuel production, including bioethanol and biogas. Ear attachment height is 110-116 cm, and 1000-kernel weight varies from 330 to 390 g.

DKC4741 demonstrates high resistance to various stress factors and diseases. The hybrid shows high tolerance to drought (rating 9), lodging (9), helmintosporiosis (8), head smut (9), and fusarium (8-9). It adapts well to various soil-climate conditions, including zones with insufficient and sufficient moisture levels. Recommended planting density is 70-75 thousand plants per hectare under sufficient moisture and 60-65 thousand under insufficient moisture. The hybrid also exhibits high initial growth energy and cold tolerance, ensuring stability and adaptability under diverse cultivation conditions.

The hybrid is suitable for intensive cultivation technologies and can be used in monoculture or on irrigated lands. Rapid moisture release during maturity facilitates harvest and reduces loss risks. Strong stalks, well-developed root systems, and dark-green leaves provide lodging resistance and contribute to high productivity. DKC4741 is a versatile hybrid combining high yield, disease and stress resistance, and adaptability to various agronomic conditions.
