MAS 282K corn is a high-yielding and adaptable hybrid with FAO 280, designed for cultivation under various climatic conditions and farming technologies. This medium-early dent hybrid features rapid early growth and uniform emergence, ensuring even crop development. The genetics of MAS 282K contribute to resistance to lodging and fusarium, significantly enhancing yield reliability.
Plants have medium height and medium ear attachment, and the hybrid is characterized by ear flexibility (FLEX), which aids adaptation to different growing conditions. The vegetation period includes an active temperature sum of 870°C until flowering and 1720°C until full maturity. Ear rows vary from 16 to 18, with kernels per row ranging from 30 to 35, and 1000-kernel weight is 290-300 grams. High drought tolerance (9 points) and drought resistance (8 points) make MAS 282K suitable for regions with variable moisture levels.
The hybrid demonstrates high tolerance to diseases, including ear and stem fusarium, as well as ear and leaf blights, further enhancing yield stability. Recommended planting density depends on moisture conditions: 70-80 thousand plants per hectare under adequate moisture, and 60-70 thousand under unstable moisture. MAS 282K is a versatile grain-type hybrid that combines high productivity, resistance to adverse factors, and adaptability to various agronomic practices.
