The corn hybrid ES GEDION is intended for grain production and is characterized by tolerance to herbicides from the sulfonylurea group. It belongs to mid-early maturity hybrids with FAO 240-280, ensuring high profitability under intensive and medium-intensive cultivation technologies. The hybrid has a cream-colored, dent-type kernel, which contributes to good taste quality and high grain quality.
ES GEDION exhibits high resistance to lodging and drought, as well as rapid moisture shedding during maturity, facilitating harvest and reducing yield losses. Its strong root system ensures stable plant anchorage in the soil and enhances resistance to adverse weather conditions. The hybrid demonstrates high initial growth vigor and positively responds to fertilizer application, requiring minimal maintenance.
ES GEDION is recommended for cultivation in the Polissia, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe zones, with optimal planting dates starting at +10 °C. Sowing rates vary depending on soil moisture: 70-75 thousand plants per hectare under adequate moisture, and 60-65 thousand plants per hectare under insufficient moisture. This hybrid is suitable for various agronomic conditions and provides stable, high grain yields.
