IR 350 is a mid-season corn hybrid with FAO 350, featuring high drought resistance and excellent water shedding. The hybrid is characterized by a large multi-row ear and toothed yellow grain, ensuring high yield potential of 1.4–1.6 t/ha under various climatic conditions. Plants reach a height of approximately 220–240 cm, with ears attached at a height of 60–90 cm, facilitating harvesting and reducing lodging risk. The hybrid is recommended for cultivation in the forest-steppe, northern, and southern steppes, where it demonstrates stable yield performance and adaptability to stressful conditions.
IR 350 exhibits high resistance to major corn diseases and pests, including common rust and smut, as well as corn borer. High early growth rate and seedling resistance to short-term cold spells ensure reliable plant development at early planting dates. The hybrid’s drought and heat tolerance are rated 9 out of 9, making it one of the leaders in adaptation to adverse weather conditions.
IR 350 hybrid is intended for grain production and may also be used for silage and starch production. Recommended planting density varies by region: 60–70 thousand plants per hectare in the forest-steppe, 45–55 thousand plants per hectare in the northern steppe. Seeds have a toothed shape and are supplied in bags of 80,000 units. Due to its characteristics and Syngenta’s selection, IR 350 is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high and stable yields under variable climate conditions.
