The LG3258 corn hybrid is a medium-early classic variety with high potential for grain and silage yields. The plant reaches an average height of about 250 cm, has a cream-colored dent-type kernel, with 32 kernels per row and 14-16 rows per ear. The 1000-kernel weight is approximately 310-320 grams. The hybrid is characterized by high starch content in silage mass, making it versatile for grain and meal production. Thanks to the Stay Green plant type, LG3258 retains green mass longer, positively affecting harvest quality and resilience to adverse conditions. LG3258 exhibits high resistance to various stress factors and diseases. The hybrid shows high drought tolerance, resistance to head smut and fusarium, and lodging resistance. These traits ensure stable yields even under challenging climatic conditions. The yield potential is rated 9 out of 9, and grain moisture release rate is rated 8 out of 8, facilitating timely harvest and reducing losses. The plant demonstrates high initial growth energy and adapts to seasonal stresses, making it a reliable choice for various regions of Ukraine. To achieve maximum productivity, LG3258 should be grown using classical technology with fertilizers, microelements, and growth stimulants. A key aspect is herbicide use for weed control, as well as proper soil preparation considering crop rotation and field topography. Recommended planting density varies according to moisture levels: 70-80 thousand plants per hectare in adequately moist zones and 60-70 thousand in less moist zones. The hybrid is suitable for early planting and can be grown using various technologies, making it versatile and profitable for farmers.
