Maize Kishkun SC 4282 (Zsuzsanna)

Stable grain yields: The potential of Hungarian breeding

The Hungarian breeding school has long prioritized stress tolerance, and the Kiskun SC 4282 (Zsuzsanna) hybrid from the Kiskun Research Centre is a prime example. This medium-early dent corn hybrid is designed for farms focused on maximizing profitability in grain production.

Agronomic applications and field performance

The primary focus of this hybrid is grain cultivation. Thanks to the genetic traits introduced by the originator, Semir Rady, the hybrid effectively utilizes its growth cycle, ensuring rapid moisture loss during ripening. This is a critical factor for agronomists aiming to reduce drying costs after harvest.

• Performance in variable climates: Excellent adaptability to various soil types makes this hybrid suitable for diverse regions, including areas prone to moderate moisture stress.
• Harvest efficiency: The dent-type grain provides a high yield of quality product, suitable for both long-term storage and the animal feed industry.
• Economic efficiency: The hybrid delivers predictable results, making it the preferred choice for crop rotation planning where harvest windows are tight before winter crop sowing.

By choosing Kiskun SC 4282 (Zsuzsanna), farmers gain a proven tool for production intensification. The stability of this hybrid is backed by the Kiskun Research Centre's track record—it responds effectively to high-input management but maintains high technical standards even under moderate fertilization levels.
