Hybrid corn DKC4933 is a simple mid-early maturity hybrid with intermediate grain type, intended for grain production. It is characterized by high resistance to Helminthosporium and drought, ensuring stable yields even under adverse conditions. It is recommended to avoid monoculture cultivation of this hybrid, and the optimal zones for its cultivation are the Polissia, Forest Steppe, and Northern Steppe of Ukraine. The FAO maturity of the hybrid is 250, corresponding to an average maturity period, and its water shedding is good, facilitating harvest and storage of the crop.
Plants of hybrid DKC4933 are low-growing, with height ranging from 200 to 240 cm and ear attachment height of 100-120 cm. The hybrid has a strong and well-branched root system, which ensures efficient uptake of water and nutrients, contributing to high yield formation. Stem strength is excellent, reducing the risk of lodging, and its reproductivity and drought resistance are at a high level. The number of rows per ear varies from 14 to 60, and the number of kernels per row ranges from 26 to 38. The 100-seed mass is 270-320 grams, indicating good seed material quality.
The hybrid is well-suited for early and mid-season planting, but late planting and low planting density are not recommended. The optimal plant density at harvest is 70-80 thousand per hectare under favorable conditions and 50-65 thousand under unfavorable conditions. In 2017, the actual yield of the hybrid reached 122 centners per hectare, confirming its high productivity. Due to its characteristics and adaptability, DKC4933 is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve a stable and high-quality grain corn yield.
