Maize DKC5182

Hybrid corn DKC5182 is a mid-late maturing variety with FAO around 400-420, suitable for cultivation in various regions, including the North Caucasus and Lower Volga. The plant is tall with a round leaf tip and weak anthocyanic coloring of various plant parts, indicating its resistance and adaptability. The ear is weakly conical, thick, and short, with medium-type kernels closer to dent, yellow on the upper part and yellow-orange on the lower. The vegetation period is about 111-112 days, allowing the hybrid to successfully complete its cycle under conditions of the middle zone and southern regions.

DKC5182 is characterized by high yield and stability. In the North Caucasus region, the average grain yield reached 57.7 c/ha, and in the Lower Volga — 58.0 c/ha, with maximum yields reaching 97.1 c/ha and 124.0 c/ha respectively. The grain moisture at harvest is about 22%, facilitating subsequent processing and storage. The hybrid demonstrates a good spring start and forms a strong root system, contributing to its resistance to drought and adverse weather conditions.

A distinctive feature of DKC5182 is its high seed mass and excellent stem quality, significantly reducing the risk of lodging during late harvest. The hybrid is suitable for both adaptive and intensive cultivation technologies, making it a versatile choice for farmers aiming to achieve high and stable yields. Due to its resistance to diseases and drought, as well as excellent agronomic characteristics, DKC5182 is a reliable and productive corn hybrid.
