Maize KHB 9252

KHB 9252 is a simple two-line hybrid corn (Zea mays L.) of medium-early maturity with FAO 250. The plant is characterized by medium height and long ears with relatively few rows of kernels. The vegetative period of the hybrid ranges from 98 to 116 days, allowing it to be effectively utilized in various climatic conditions. The kernel type is intermediate, closer to dent or flint, with a characteristic coloration: the upper part of the kernel is yellow or yellow-orange, and the lower part is yellow-orange or orange.

The KHB 9252 hybrid is included in the State Register for the Central Chernozem, North Caucasus, and Lower Volga regions, confirming its adaptability and stable yield across different zones. The average grain yield in the Central Chernozem region reaches about 82 c/ha, in the North Caucasus region — about 58 c/ha, and in the Lower Volga region — about 47 c/ha. These figures make this hybrid attractive for grain production under diverse agro-climatic conditions.

KHB 9252 exhibits good resistance to stalk rot, enhancing its reliability under adverse weather conditions. In field conditions, the hybrid is weakly affected by bacterial diseases, moderately affected by ear Fusarium, and damaged by corn borer, requiring adherence to agronomic measures to protect crops. Due to its characteristics and resistance, this hybrid is suitable for efficient grain production with high quality.
