Maize KSS 5162

Corn KSS 5162 is a classic hybrid with a flint-dent type of grain, characterized by an early maturity and intended for both grain production and silage. The group maturity of the hybrid corresponds to FAO 160, which makes it an early variety, optimal for regions with short growing periods.

The corn cob contains from 14 to 16 rows of grains, while the number of grains per row varies from 26 to 32. The weight of 1000 grains is from 280 to 300 grams, which indicates a good yield potential.

The KSS 5162 hybrid is characterized by high productivity and stable yields, as evidenced by trials in various regions including Ryazan and Kaluga oblasts, as well as Tatarstan. The recommended plant density at harvest is 80-90 thousand plants per hectare under optimal conditions and 60-65 thousand in arid conditions, which allows to adapt cultivation to different climatic conditions. Fungicides and insecticides are used to protect the plants from multi-component infections, contributing to maintaining crop health and increasing yields.

This hybrid is suitable for growing on specialized fields taking into account the climatic features of the region. Its early maturity and high resistance to stress factors make KSS 5162 an attractive choice for farmers seeking to obtain a quality and stable corn yield, both grain and silage.
