Corn KWS Pikadero — a mid-season hybrid selection by KWS, distinguished by high yield stability even under extensive cultivation conditions. This hybrid has a high grain yield potential, reaching up to 15 tons per hectare, and is characterized by rapid early growth and stable plant vigor. Plant height is 270–290 cm, and ear attachment height is 90–110 cm, ensuring convenient harvesting and optimal ear formation conditions.
One of the key advantages of KWS Pikadero is its high drought tolerance, making this hybrid especially valuable for regions with unstable moisture levels. Additionally, the hybrid exhibits very rapid water shedding, allowing for late harvest without significant loss of grain quality. The plant type is semi-erect with erect leaf blades, and the grain is dent-type, which promotes effective photosynthesis and high-quality yield formation.
KWS Pikadero ears have 14–18 rows of kernels, with kernel per row ranging from 35 to 42, and 1000-kernel weight fluctuating between 270–300 grams. The hybrid is characterized by high resistance to lodging, enhancing harvest reliability. The primary purpose of this hybrid is grain production, making it an optimal choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-yielding corn variety.
