Maize LAZHOISKY 298 MV

Corn hybrid Lazhoisky 298 MV is a mid-early three-line hybrid with a maturity period of about 109-112 days and FAO 290. Plants reach a height of 260-290 cm, with ear attachment height ranging from 95 to 105 cm. Ears contain 13 to 16 rows of kernels, which are yellow in color and have a dent shape. The 1000-kernel weight is 330 grams, indicating the hybrid's large kernel size. Lazhoisky 298 MV is suitable for cultivation both for grain and silage, ensuring high yields under proper growing conditions. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to major corn diseases, including southern helminthosporiosis, as well as moderate resistance to common rust and ear blight. However, it is susceptible to bacterial blight and fusarium. Additionally, the plant possesses a robust leaf-stem apparatus, contributing to resistance against lodging, as well as high cold and drought tolerance. Rapid early growth allows the hybrid to thrive in various climatic conditions. Recommended planting density varies depending on soil moisture: under adequate moisture, the optimal rate is 70-85 thousand plants per hectare, while under insufficient moisture, it is 55-65 thousand per hectare. The hybrid performs well in the Central, Central Chernozem, North Caucasus, and Lower Volga regions. Grain yield can reach up to 115 centners per hectare, while silage yield can reach up to 70 tons per hectare, making Lazhoisky 298 MV a profitable choice for farmers seeking stable and high yields.
