DN Talanov

DN Talanov is a mid-early hybrid sweet corn, registered in the Ukrainian Plant Varieties Register since 2021. It is intended for cultivation in the Steppe and Polissia regions and features plants approximately 230 cm tall with cylindrical ears 23-24 cm long. The ear contains 16 rows of kernels, each with a dent shape and yellow-orange color. The 1000-kernel weight is 280-290 g. The plant does not bush out, is resistant to lodging due to its well-developed root system and compact architecture, allowing it to withstand prolonged drought and heat. The hybrid shows moderate early growth and tolerates short-term spring frosts. It positively responds to improved growing conditions such as mineral fertilizer application and irrigation. DN Talanov exhibits high resistance to major corn diseases and pests, including corn borer, smut, fusarium rot, and corn earworm. Additionally, the hybrid has high drought and heat tolerance, confirmed by a rating of 9 points, as well as moderate re-sprouting ability and good water shedding during ripening. Recommended planting density varies by region: 50-55 thousand plants per hectare in the Steppe, 70-75 thousand in the Forest Steppe, and 75-90 thousand in the Polissia. Potential grain yield reaches 15.1 t/ha, ensuring stable and high productivity. DN Talanov is a reliable choice for farmers seeking quality grain under variable climate conditions and limited water supply.
