Maize ES Marco

Corn ES Marco is a medium-early hybrid recommended for cultivation in the Central Chernozem and steppe regions. The vegetation period is approximately 111 days, allowing for a stable harvest at optimal times. The plant is tall, reaching a height of about 273 cm, with an ear attachment height of approximately 116 cm. The leaves are narrow, straight, with a small angle between the leaf blade and stem. The ear is of medium length and thickness, with a short stalk, containing 14-16 rows of kernels, with about 27 kernels per row. The kernel type is intermediate, closer to starchy, with an orange upper part, and the 1000-kernel weight is approximately 300 g. The hybrid ES Marco has a high yield potential: the average grain yield in the Central Chernozem region reaches 47.1 c/ha, with maximum yields up to 85.4 c/ha. The grain moisture at harvest is about 25.7%, which is lower than standard values, and the dry matter content reaches 41.2%. Additionally, the hybrid shows high yield of normalized dry matter, making it suitable for both grain and silage use. The recommended planting density is 70-90 thousand plants per hectare. ES Marco exhibits good resistance to a range of diseases and stress factors. The hybrid is resistant to southern helminthosporium, blister rust, bacterial blight, and stalk rot, although it may be susceptible to damage from the corn borer. High disease and stress resistance, along with adaptability to various climatic conditions, make this hybrid a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve a high-quality corn harvest.
