Maize Kishkun 4244

Genetic Architecture of the Hybrid

The Hungarian Kiskun Research Centre, led by originator Samir Redi, has implemented a concept of adaptive yield in the 'Kiskun 4244' maize hybrid. The technical value of this model lies in the balance between vegetation speed and the potential for grain mass accumulation. Unlike highly specialized niche lines, 4244 is focused on stable genetic potential realization under moderate stress, achieved through a sophisticated root system structure and an optimal leaf area index.

Agronomic Advantages

• Moisture Release Management: The hybrid exhibits high intensity of moisture loss during maturation, significantly reducing energy costs during post-harvest grain drying.
• Stalk Stability: Morphological features of the hybrid ensure high resistance to lodging, which is critical for late harvesting or adverse weather conditions at the end of the season.
• Grain Potential: A high cob-filling index allows for maintaining a stable 1000-kernel weight even under high planting densities.

Technically, 'Kiskun 4244' was engineered as a tool for farmers requiring predictable results. The genetic 'base' of this hybrid minimizes risks associated with uneven maturation, ensuring synchronous grain filling and cob uniformity. This makes it an efficient solution for operations practicing intensive cultivation technologies with precise mineral nutrition management at every growth stage.
