Corn Krasnodarsky 279 is a medium-early simple modified hybrid with a vegetation period of 108-112 days and a FAO index of 270. Plants reach a height of 250-270 cm, have a red stalk and a cylindrical ear 22-23 cm long, attached at a height of about 85-105 cm. The kernels are yellow, cream-colored, tooth-shaped, arranged in 16 rows with 40-42 kernels per row. The hybrid does not lodge and is highly mechanizable, making it convenient for mechanized harvesting and processing.
Krasnodarsky 279 is characterized by high yield and resistance to adverse factors. The potential grain yield is 12-13.5 t/ha, and silage yield is 50-65 t/ha. The hybrid shows high resistance to lodging, stem breakage, drought, frost, and possesses a high level of immunity to major diseases and pests. Due to these qualities, it is suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones, including steppe, forest-steppe, and Polесьe, especially in areas with good moisture.
Corn Krasnodarsky 279 is a versatile and profitable choice for farmers, as it is adaptable to climatic conditions and demonstrates good response to improved agronomic practices. The optimal planting density varies depending on the cultivation zone: 50-55 thousand/ha in steppe, 65-70 thousand/ha in forest-steppe, and 70-80 thousand/ha in Polесьe. The corn kernels are rich in proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals, making this hybrid valuable for both grain production and silage.
