Maize DKS 4178

Corn DKS 4178 is a high-yielding, medium-maturing hybrid with FAO 330, exhibiting high adaptability to various soil-climate conditions. This hybrid features rapid early growth energy and high drought resistance, enabling successful cultivation in areas with varying moisture levels. Recommended planting density varies depending on conditions: 70-75 thousand plants per hectare under adequate moisture, 60-70 thousand under unstable conditions, and 50-60 thousand under insufficient moisture. Soil temperature for planting should not be lower than 9°C, and primary soil preparation preferably involves traditional or minimal methods. Hybrid DKS 4178 is characterized by strong plants with well-developed root systems, ensuring resistance to lodging and enabling tolerance to prolonged drought. Grain is dent-shaped, with 1000-grain weight ranging from 310 to 400 grams. Corn tolerates low temperatures and exhibits high resistance to common diseases, including fusarium, helmintosporiosis, and rust, with resistance ratings of 8-9 points. The hybrid is suitable for cultivation on all soil types except sandy soils and can be grown in monoculture. DKS 4178 is widely used for grain and silage production due to its high yield and rapid moisture loss during maturation. Mineral nutrition level for this hybrid is moderate to high, allowing optimization of agronomic practices. Seed producer — company DEKALB, package contains 80 thousand seeds. Due to its characteristics and resistance, this hybrid is a reliable choice for various cultivation zones, including the Polissia and Forest-Steppe regions of Ukraine.
