Corn hybrid KWS EC 502 is a high-yielding variety developed for cultivation under various climatic conditions, including Ukraine. This variety is characterized by high disease resistance, ensuring stable yields and reducing the need for large amounts of fertilizers. Corn hybrid KWS EC 502 is suitable for both intensive and extensive cultivation technologies, making it a versatile choice for farmers.
The hybrid belongs to the semi-remontant type with semi-reactoid leaf and dent kernel type. Plants reach a height of 300-310 cm, with ear attachment height of 100-110 cm. The ear contains 14 rows of kernels, each with 35-37 kernels. The 1000-kernel weight is 350-360 grams, indicating large kernel size and high-quality yield. The potential yield of corn hybrid KWS EC 502 reaches 18 tons per hectare.
One of the key features of this hybrid is rapid drying due to the opening of ear husks, which simplifies the drying and harvesting process. The recommended plant density at harvest varies depending on soil moisture levels: 70-75 thousand plants per hectare in well-watered zones, and 45-55 thousand in less watered zones. All these characteristics make KWS EC 502 a reliable and efficient choice for obtaining high-quality corn yields.
