Maize DKC4983

The DKC4983 corn hybrid is a mid-season variety with high yield potential, featuring a strong stalk and well-developed root system. It exhibits tolerance to high planting density and can withstand prolonged delays, providing flexibility in harvest timing. The grain type is dent, and it dries well, facilitating high-quality harvest. This hybrid is recommended for grain and silage use, and is suitable for bioethanol and biogas production.

DKC4983 is resistant to major diseases, including stalk and ear fusarium, which enhances yield stability under various climatic conditions. The hybrid demonstrates high drought and cold tolerance, allowing cultivation across all zones, including arid regions. It is suitable for cultivation on all soil types, including sandy soils provided adequate moisture is available, and can be successfully grown both in monoculture and on irrigated land.

To achieve optimal yield, medium to high levels of mineral nutrition are recommended, along with traditional, minimal, or No-tillage soil preparation methods. The optimal soil temperature at sowing should not be lower than +8–9°C. The recommended plant population at harvest varies depending on moisture conditions: in dry zones — 50–60 thousand plants per hectare, with adequate moisture — 70–75 thousand, and under irrigation — up to 85–90 thousand plants per hectare. All these characteristics make DKC4983 a versatile and reliable choice for modern farmers.
