Corn hybrids KV 1 F 291 and KV 1 F 290 are highly adaptable mid-season hybrids with FAO 290, designed for various soil-climatic conditions. They feature rapid early growth and efficient water shedding, contributing to stable and high yields. Seeds are treated with protective agents ensuring disease resistance and high yield potential up to 16 tons per hectare. Their high maturity speed and ability to rapidly reduce grain moisture make them convenient for harvesting and storage.
Plants exhibit a strong, well-leafed structure, reaching heights of approximately 330-340 cm, with ears attached at 110-120 cm. Ears form 14-20 rows of kernels, with kernel count per row ranging from 33 to 37, ensuring high grain output. The 1000-kernel weight varies from 310 to 330 grams. These hybrids are suitable for both grain and silage production, thanks to their high starch and dry matter content in green mass, making them popular for biogas and feed production.
Recommended planting density depends on moisture conditions: in adequately moist zones, optimal density is 85-90 thousand plants per hectare, while in less moist zones — 65-75 thousand. Hybrids respond well to intensive cultivation techniques and demonstrate high heat and drought tolerance, especially under favorable moisture conditions. They are suitable for cultivation in various regions, including the forest-steppe and Polissia, and show yields surpassing many foreign counterparts.
