Maize KWS KASHADO

KWS KASHADO — high-yielding, adaptable hybrid of grain-type sweet corn with FAO maturity group 380. This hybrid features large, dent-type kernels with a high 1000-kernel weight of 340–350 grams, enabling high yield potential of up to 19 tons per hectare. Plants reach a height of 280–290 cm, with ear attachment height of 100–110 cm. Kernel rows vary from 16 to 18, with 37–39 kernels per row.

The KWS KASHADO hybrid exhibits high adaptability and is suitable for cultivation under both intensive and extensive technologies, including irrigated conditions. It is resistant to lodging, which helps preserve yield and facilitates harvesting. Rapid kernel moisture loss allows timely harvest and reduces risks of quality loss. Recommended plant density at harvest depends on water availability: in well-watered zones — 70–75 thousand plants per hectare, in moderately watered zones — 55–65 thousand, and in water-limited zones — 45–50 thousand plants per hectare.

Hybrid seeds are supplied in bags of 80,000 units, treated with the two-component insecticide seed treatment FORS ZEA and the seed treatment MAXIM XL, providing protection against pests and promoting successful germination. Recommended cultivation zone includes the Polissia, forest-steppe, and steppe regions, making KWS KASHADO a versatile solution for various climatic conditions. This hybrid combines high yield potential, lodging resistance, and adaptability, making it an attractive choice for farmers seeking stable and high-quality harvests.
