Maize KSS 7310

KSS 7310 is a medium-maturing simple hybrid of corn (Zea mays L.) intended for grain production in the Central Black Earth region. The plant is characterized by high height and medium leaf width. External features include medium-strong anthocyanic coloration of the sheath of the first leaf with rounded or blunt apex, weak root coloration at the stem and weak or absent anthocyanic coloration of the tassel's bracts and their base. The tassel has a long main axis forming a small or medium angle with lateral branches, which are slightly curved and have a medium number of branches. The ear is long, thick, and cylindrical with a short peduncle, and the kernels are toothed yellow-orange in color.

The vegetative period of the hybrid is approximately 121–124 days, corresponding to the medium-maturing type. Grain yield in the region averages 79.8–80.2 c/ha, with maximum yields reaching 157.5 c/ha, significantly exceeding standard levels. Grain moisture at harvest is approximately 27.4–27.9%, which is lower than standard values, facilitating subsequent processing and storage. The hybrid demonstrates good resistance to corn borer, enhancing its reliability and reducing crop losses.

KSS 7310 possesses balanced morphological and agronomic characteristics, making it attractive for farmers aiming to achieve high and stable grain yields. Its medium-early maturity and adaptation to the Central Black Earth region allow effective use in various agrotechnical systems. Due to its high yield, optimal grain moisture, and resistance to pests, KSS 7310 is a promising choice for grain production.
