Maize KABARDINSKAYA BELAYA ZUBOVIDNAYA

Corn variety Kabardinskaya Belaya Zubovidnaya belongs to the medium-maturing group (FAO 350) and is primarily intended for food use, particularly for the production of corn flour. The plant reaches a height of up to 3 meters, possesses a strong, well-leafed stem with moderate resistance to lodging. Leaves are broad and dark green, with weak bushiness. The upper ear forms at a height of 100 to 187 cm, has a cylindrical or slightly conical shape, length up to 22-25 cm, and weight of 250-300 g. Kernels are white, toothed, with a slightly wrinkled tip, arranged in neat rows (16-18 rows), with furrow width between them ranging from medium to narrow. The 1000-kernel weight is 240-270 g, and the grain yield upon shelling ears reaches 80-82%. The variety is characterized by high potential grain yield up to 8 tons per hectare and matures in 108-112 days in the steppe zone. Sowing is recommended at optimal times accepted for corn in the cultivation zone, with seed planting depth of 5-8 cm depending on soil composition and moisture. The optimal plant density at harvest for irrigated and moisture-sufficient lands is 35-37 thousand per hectare, which requires sowing 40-45 thousand germinating seeds per hectare. Soil preparation technology and crop care follow general methods for this cultivation zone. Kabardinskaya Belaya Zubovidnaya demonstrates resistance to diseases, with no disease incidence observed during vegetation. Resistance to damage by grasshoppers and bollworms is rated as moderate. Due to its agronomic characteristics and grain quality, this variety is a reliable choice for farmers focused on producing high-quality corn flour and achieving stable yields.
