Corn KSS 3201 is a new semideterminate hybrid of the grain type, distinguished by high yield stability and adapted to cultivation under conditions of insufficient moisture. This medium-maturing hybrid with a vegetation period of 118-120 days is characterized by plant height of 270-290 cm and ear formation at a height of 90-100 cm with 16-18 rows of dent kernels. Grain yield reaches 79.7-83%, and 1000-kernel weight is 270-290 g. The hybrid features rapid early growth and high drought resistance, enabling it to successfully withstand stressful conditions at all key developmental stages, including generative organ formation, flowering, and grain filling.
KSS 3201 exhibits excellent resistance to lodging, reaching a maximum of 9 points, as well as high resistance to stalk rot, powdery mildew, and corn earworm. After maturation, the hybrid demonstrates effective moisture release, facilitating harvest and storage of the crop. The grain has a high starch content — 72-72.5% — making it particularly valuable for grain use. The genetic yield potential of the hybrid reaches 150 centners per hectare, while it maintains competitiveness even at yields below 80 centners per hectare.
Due to its adaptability and resistance to adverse climatic conditions, KSS 3201 is recommended for cultivation in areas with limited moisture, such as steppe and forest-steppe regions. The well-developed root system promotes efficient absorption of water and nutrients, ensuring stable plant development and high-quality harvest. This hybrid is an optimal choice for farmers seeking a reliable and high-yielding corn crop under challenging agroclimatic conditions.
