KRAASNODARSKIY 204 MV — this is a medium-early corn hybrid, belonging to the first generation and possessing high yield and stress resistance. The plant reaches an average height of about 250–260 cm, has a strong stalk and medium-wide leaves with rounded tips. The ear is cylindrical in shape, of medium length and diameter, with 16–18 rows of kernels, which have an intermediate type, closer to the flinty, and orange coloration. The 1000-kernel weight is 250–270 g, and the grain yield upon threshing reaches 81%. The hybrid's vegetation period is approximately 86–98 days, corresponding to FAO 190, allowing its use for both grain and silage production. The hybrid is characterized by weak anthocyanic coloring of the first leaf sheath and roots at the stem, as well as absence or very weak coloring of the ear husk and silk. The tassel has an early-to-medium flowering time, with the main axis positioned higher than the longer upper lateral branch, and a large number of lateral branches. The ear is located at a height of 85–87 cm, and the stalk length is average. The plant is resistant to lodging, downy mildew, and stalk rot, enhancing its reliability under various agroclimatic conditions. KRAASNODARSKIY 204 MV exhibits high productivity in various regions and growing conditions, including zones with adequate and insufficient moisture. The recommended planting density at harvest time is 65–70 thousand plants per hectare in zones with adequate moisture and 60–65 thousand in zones with insufficient moisture. The hybrid seeds are treated with fungicides and insecticides, providing protection against diseases and pests. Thanks to its cold tolerance and adaptability, this hybrid is suitable for cultivation under a wide range of climatic conditions.
