DMC Tonus

DMC Tonus is a mid-season hybrid of sweet corn with a FAO index of 340, developed using the selective technology of the MAIS brand. It is recommended for cultivation in all climatic zones of Ukraine, including Polissia, Forest Steppe, and Steppe. The vegetation period of the hybrid varies from 113 to 118 days depending on the region, allowing effective use under various conditions. Plant height reaches 260 cm, and the ear is cylindrical, well-filled, with 14–16 rows of kernels, ensuring high productivity.

The DMC Tonus hybrid is characterized by high resistance to adverse conditions, including drought, high temperature, and water deficiency. It has high initial growth energy and rapid seed drying at maturity. The hybrid is relatively insensitive to growing conditions, resistant to low temperatures, and does not tend to lodging. Additionally, it is tolerant to weeds and pests, including corn borer, as well as to major corn diseases such as gray and blister rust.

To achieve maximum yield, it is recommended to follow sowing norms ensuring optimal plant density at harvest: 45–50 thousand units per hectare in steppe regions, 60–70 thousand in forest steppe, and 70–75 thousand in Polissia. The hybrid’s potential yield reaches 17 t/ha in Polissia, 16.5 t/ha in forest steppe, and 14 t/ha in steppe at 14% grain moisture. DMC Tonus is a reliable choice for farmers seeking a stable and high yield of sweet corn under various climatic conditions in Ukraine.
