Corn hybrid KWS KUMPAN is a high-yielding, intensive-type hybrid designed for grain production. This variety is characterized by high yield potential, reaching up to 17 tons per hectare, as well as high 1000-grain weight ranging from 350-370 grams. The grain is dent-type, ensuring good quality and suitability for various purposes. Plants reach a height of 280-290 cm, with ears attached at 100-110 cm, and the number of rows varies from 12 to 14, with 35-37 kernels per row.
