Corn hybrid K 500 is a late-maturing, simple hybrid with FAO 500, designed for universal use — both for grain and silage. Plants are tall, reaching heights from 240 to 300 cm, with well-leafed stems and semi-erect leaf arrangement. Ears are long, conical, 20-22 cm in length, with a large number of rows of kernels (16-18), which have a dent type and yellowish-white coloration. 1000-kernel mass varies from 250 to 300 g. The hybrid is characterized by high stem strength, lodging resistance, and remontancy, ensuring its ability to withstand adverse weather conditions and drought. K 500 is characterized by high yield: average dry matter yield reaches 157.5 c/ha, with a maximum of 370 c/ha. Grain yield in various regions may reach 9.1 t/ha. The vegetation period is approximately 97 days, making the hybrid late-maturing. Dry matter content in grain is about 38.3%, positively affecting product quality. The hybrid is resistant to major diseases and pests, confirmed by high resistance ratings (8 out of 9). Corn K 500 is primarily grown in steppe and forest-steppe zones using classical cultivation technology. Due to its characteristics — high yield, resistance to adverse conditions, and universal use — this hybrid is a reliable choice for farmers focused on producing quality grain and silage.
