Corn KWS 538 is a high-yielding hybrid of the grain type from the German producer KWS, adapted for cultivation in Ukraine. This hybrid is characterized by high resistance to stress conditions, including drought, ensuring stable yields even under adverse weather conditions. Plant height reaches 260-270 cm, and ear attachment height is 90-100 cm, facilitating harvesting and efficient use of planting area.
Corn kernels have 14 rows with 35-37 kernels per row, and 1000 kernels weigh 300-310 g, indicating large kernel size and high-quality yield. Recommended plant density varies depending on soil moisture level: 80-90 thousand plants per hectare in well-watered zones and 65-75 thousand plants per hectare under dry conditions. Grain yield potential reaches 14 tons per hectare, making this hybrid attractive for commercial cultivation.
KWS 538 seeds exhibit high adaptability to various climatic conditions and disease resistance, ensuring reliable seed material. The hybrid is a spring-sown crop intended for planting in early spring. Due to its characteristics such as high stress tolerance, large kernels, and optimal plant height, KWS 538 is an effective solution for farmers aiming to achieve high-quality corn yields.
