Sweet corn Elegia 280 is a medium-early hybrid with FAO 280, characterized by high adaptability and yield under various climatic conditions. This hybrid features a dent kernel type with high starch content, ensuring rapid early growth and uniform plant development. Plant height is medium, and ear attachment height ranges from 100-110 cm, facilitating harvest convenience. The number of rows per ear varies from 14 to 18, and kernels per row reach 30-35, resulting in a high 1000-kernel weight of approximately 290-300 grams.
Elegia 280 exhibits high drought and lodging resistance, rated at 8 out of 9, as well as good resistance to diseases such as gray and bubble smut, and fusarium. The hybrid demonstrates rapid water release and high yield potential, making it profitable for cultivation as grain, as well as for bioethanol, biogas, and silage production. Due to its high response to high fertility, this hybrid ensures good return on fertilizer investment and early harvest.
Optimal plant density before harvest depends on moisture conditions: under adequate moisture, 70-80 thousand plants per hectare are recommended; under limited conditions, 60-70 thousand. Elegia 280 corn seeds are treated with Redigo, Fewer, and ForceZea, which enhances protection against diseases and stress factors, improves germination, and supports plant development. Seed production takes place in France, Spain, and Ukraine, ensuring high quality and adaptation to various agroclimatic zones.
