Maize DKS 4541

DKS 4541 — a high-yielding, mid-season corn hybrid with FAO 380, designed for conventional soil tillage technology. Plants reach a height of 230 to 270 cm, with strong stalks and large ears containing 18-20 rows of kernels, with 36-42 kernels per row. Kernels are dent-shaped, with a 1000-kernel weight ranging from 330 to 390 grams and starch content exceeding 72%. Ear attachment height is approximately 110-116 cm. The hybrid is suitable for cultivation on loamy and sandy loam soils under adequate moisture conditions, and demonstrates high adaptability to various soil-climatic conditions, including the Polissia, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe zones of Ukraine. One key feature of DKS 4541 is its high drought and lodging resistance, rated 9 out of 10. The hybrid also exhibits high tolerance to common corn diseases such as helminthosporium, rust, and fusarium, with resistance ratings of 8 to 9. Rapid moisture release during ripening allows effective use in areas with unstable moisture, making it an optimal choice for cultivation in arid regions. Recommended planting density varies depending on moisture conditions and ranges from 50,000 to 75,000 plants per hectare. DKS 4541 is versatile in use: it is suitable for grain production, silage, and can be used for biofuel production, including bioethanol and biogas. High mineral nutrition promotes maximum yield potential. The recommended soil temperature for planting is not less than 8°C, ensuring optimal conditions for germination and plant development. Due to its characteristics and resilience, this hybrid is a reliable choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality corn harvest.
