Maize LeBron

LeBron — a mid-late maturity hybrid of sweet corn, grain-silage type with FAO 350, featuring high yield potential up to 18.5 tons per hectare. Plants of this hybrid are tall, with medium-height ears, dent-type kernels, and 16–18 rows per ear, each containing 38–42 kernels. Moisture content at harvest is 14–15%, ensuring optimal storage and processing conditions. The hybrid exhibits high initial growth energy, promoting rapid plant development and successful adaptation to various growing conditions.

LeBron seeds are treated with fludioxonil and metalaxyl-M, enhancing disease protection and improving germination. Recommended planting density varies depending on moisture conditions: in adequately moist zones, 75–85 thousand plants per hectare are optimal, while in drier zones, 60–70 thousand are recommended. The hybrid is drought-tolerant, lodging-resistant, and highly tolerant to diseases such as stalk and ear fusarium, helminthosporium, and bacterial blight, ensuring stable yields even under adverse climatic conditions.

LeBron is ideally suited for cultivation in Ukraine and Eastern European countries, successfully used both for grain production and silage. Its versatility and high adaptability make it an advantageous choice for farmers seeking high-quality corn yields with minimal risks associated with diseases and stress factors.
