Maize DS0493B

The corn hybrid DS0493B is a simple, low-growing variety with dent-type kernels and FAO 250, intended for grain production. This hybrid is characterized by high resistance to helminthosporium and drought, ensuring stable productivity even under adverse climatic conditions. Plants reach a height of 200 to 240 cm, with ears positioned at 100-120 cm, facilitating harvesting and reducing yield losses. The root system of DS0493B is well-developed, and the stalk strength is excellent, enhancing resistance to lodging and mechanical damage.

DS0493B features rapid early development and is suitable for early planting, expanding agronomic options. The hybrid tolerates dense planting and demonstrates good water shedding, promoting timely grain maturity and reducing harvest losses. Its remontancy and high drought resistance make it a reliable choice for various cultivation zones, including Polesie, Forest Steppe, and Northern Steppe of Ukraine.

Recommended planting density depends on growing conditions: under favorable conditions, optimal density is 70-90 thousand plants per hectare; under adverse conditions — 50-70 thousand. The hybrid can yield up to 16 tons per hectare, confirming its high productivity. The number of rows per ear varies from 14 to 16, and the number of kernels per row — from 26 to 38, with 1000 kernel weight of 270-320 grams. DS0493B is not recommended for monoculture cultivation, which helps prevent disease accumulation and maintain crop health.
