IRONDELL — this is a mid-early three-line hybrid of corn (Zea mays L.), distinguished by stable high yield and good adaptation to various climatic conditions. The vegetation period of the hybrid ranges from 107 to 118 days depending on the growing region. The hybrid is successfully grown in the Central Chernozem, North Caucasus, Middle Volga, Ural, and West Siberian regions, as well as has shown good results in Altai Krai and Kazakhstan. Average grain yield in the Central Chernozem region reaches 84.9 c/ha, and in the Middle Volga region — 69.4 c/ha. Grain moisture at harvest varies from 26.0% to 35.3%.
The hybrid IRONDELL has high resistance to lodging and stalk rot, ensuring yield preservation and reducing losses during storage. The leaves of the plant are characterized by good rectoidness, which contributes to effective photosynthesis and plant development. However, the hybrid is susceptible to powdery mildew, which requires attention during agronomic practices. IRONDELL is suitable for both grain production and use as a forage crop, making it a universal solution for agricultural enterprises.
To achieve maximum yield, it is recommended to use high-quality seeds certified for compliance to avoid losses associated with the use of second-generation seeds. In 2017, the hybrid IRONDELL was successfully used in experimental fields with fertilizers containing microelements, which allowed yield to increase by 50%. This demonstrates the hybrid's high responsiveness to agronomic practices and its potential for increased productivity under proper care.
