KWS FORTURIO — a high-yielding, plastic hybrid of sweet corn with enhanced drought resistance, intended for cultivation in various climatic zones. This mid-late maturing hybrid with FAO maturity group 360 is characterized by rapid early development and high yield potential, reaching up to 20 tons of grain per hectare. Plants are compact, with erectoid habit and remontant leaf type, which contributes to effective water shedding and adaptation to conditions of insufficient moisture.
Morphological characteristics of the hybrid include plant height of 270-280 cm and ear attachment height of 110-120 cm. Grain is dent-shaped, with 16 rows and 38-42 kernels per row, with 1000 kernel weight ranging from 330-360 grams. These parameters ensure high productivity and grain quality, making KWS FORTURIO an attractive choice for farmers aiming for maximum grain output.
Recommended plant population varies depending on moisture availability: 70-80 thousand plants per hectare with adequate moisture, 55-65 thousand with moderate, and 45-55 thousand with insufficient moisture. The hybrid's rapid water shedding and plasticity enable effective use in various agroclimatic conditions, ensuring stable and high yields. Seeds are supplied in packages of 50 or 80 thousand units, convenient for large-scale planting.
