Maize F 23

Corn hybrid F 23 is a mid-early hybrid with a dent kernel type, exhibiting high productivity under various growing conditions. This low-growing hybrid features early flowering and rapid water shedding, which contributes to timely harvest and reduced losses. The plant height is low, enhancing resistance to lodging, and the ear contains 14 to 16 rows, with 30–34 kernels per row. The sum of active temperatures required to reach grain maturity at 32% moisture is approximately 1730 °C, and flowering occurs at 875 °C. F 23 is adapted for both extensive and intensive cultivation technologies, making it a versatile choice for various agro-climatic conditions. The hybrid demonstrates excellent resistance to major corn diseases, including helminthosporiosis (rating 9) and Fusarium stalk and ear rot (rating 8), significantly reducing the risk of yield loss. Additionally, the hybrid exhibits high drought and lodging resistance, along with good early growth and the Stay Green effect, ensuring prolonged green mass retention and improved photosynthetic activity of plants. Hybrid F 23 is recommended for planting density of 60–80 thousand plants per hectare, depending on moisture conditions. Thanks to its rapid water shedding and starch content exceeding 60%, this hybrid is suitable for processing into starch and other industrial applications. Seed packaging typically contains 50 thousand seeds, which is convenient for planning planting operations. Overall, F 23 combines high yield, disease resistance, and adaptability, making it a profitable choice for farmers aiming to achieve a stable and high-quality corn harvest.
