Corn KV 1 GG 1099 is a high-quality hybrid variety intended for cultivation in agriculture. This variety belongs to sweet corn, which is distinguished by its high sugar content and tender grain flavor. Corn KV 1 GG 1099 is suitable for cultivation on fertile, light, well-drained soils with an optimal pH level of around 6. The plant is light-loving and heat-loving, with a minimum seed germination temperature of about 13 degrees, and young plants can withstand brief frosts down to -3 degrees. To ensure successful cultivation, avoid cold, acidic, clayey, and saline soils.
The agronomic practices for growing corn KV 1 GG 1099 include thorough soil preparation, starting with autumn tillage after harvesting preceding crops. The soil should be disc harrowed to a depth of 6-8 cm, organic and mineral fertilizers should be applied, and then plowed to a depth of up to 30 cm. In spring, before planting, several cultivations should be conducted to eliminate weeds. The seeding rate is 60-70 thousand plants per hectare, while avoiding overcrowded plantings. During the vegetative period, regular watering and fertilization, as well as pest control, especially against corn earworm, are required. Harvesting is recommended when grain moisture is 70-75% to preserve maximum sugar content and product quality.
Corn KV 1 GG 1099 is characterized by compact growth and a well-developed root system, ensuring stable plant nutrition and high yield. Ears are approximately 22 cm long and contain 16-18 rows of white and yellow kernels. Thanks to its short vegetation period, this variety allows for early harvest, which is especially beneficial for farmers targeting the fresh produce market. To preserve quality and flavor, it is recommended to minimize the time from harvest to consumption, using refrigerated storage and icing the ears.
