Maize Emilio

Emilio (FAO 250) corn is a high-yielding hybrid designed for both grain and green mass production. This robust, tall plant features good leafiness, promoting effective photosynthesis and high yields. The hybrid is characterized by high reversion and cold tolerance, broadening its cultivation potential across various climatic zones. Emilio belongs to the intensive hybrid type and exhibits resistance to lodging, ensuring yield stability under adverse weather conditions.

Emilio corn grain has a cream-colored, toothed structure, making it versatile for various applications including compound feed, silage, and biogas. Grain moisture at harvest is moderate, with a grain yield reaching 80-81%. Plant morphological characteristics include a height of 270-290 cm and ear attachment height of 100-110 cm. The number of rows per ear is 14, with 34-37 kernels per row. The 1000-kernel weight ranges from 320 to 340 grams.

Recommended plant population depends on soil moisture levels: in well-watered areas — 80-95 thousand plants per hectare, in areas with insufficient moisture — 65-70 thousand plants per hectare. The potential grain yield reaches 14 tons per hectare, making Emilio an attractive choice for farmers seeking high productivity and reliable crops. The hybrid is produced by the company KWS, which ensures seed treatment with Maxim XL for disease protection and improved germination.
