Maize DKS 3079

DKS 3079 is an early-maturing simple hybrid corn of universal purpose, intended for cultivation as both grain and silage. The plant is tall with a semi-erect leaf canopy and wide leaves. The vegetative period is approximately 116 days, meeting standard levels. The hybrid exhibits high cold and drought resistance, ensuring stable yields under various climatic conditions. Tassel flowering occurs in early-to-mid stages, and resistance to corn borer enhances plant protection against pests.

The ear of DKS 3079 has a cylindrical shape, 22–24 cm long and 3.5–4.5 cm in diameter, with a high number of rows of kernels. The kernels are dent-type, with the upper part colored orange and the lower part yellow. The 1000-kernel weight is 310–330 g. The hybrid features good drying capacity and high dry matter content (about 36.8%), facilitating efficient harvest and storage. Moisture content at harvest averages 27.5%, lower than standard levels, easing the drying process.

The yield potential of DKS 3079 is high — averaging 12–14 tons per hectare, with maximum grain yields reaching 103.5 c/ha. The hybrid demonstrates excellent performance in normalized dry matter, making it attractive for use in various agrotechnical systems. Due to its characteristics and resistance to adverse factors, DKS 3079 is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high-quality corn yields.
