Megalito corn is a late-maturing super-sweet sh-2 type hybrid sugar corn, characterized by high yield and exceptional taste. The plant forms 1-2 strong cylindrical-conical ears, 22-25 cm long, with large, bright yellow kernels. The vegetation period is approximately 82-86 days, allowing for a reliable harvest in late maturity. The sugar content in the kernels reaches 22%, making this hybrid particularly attractive for fresh market and industrial processing.
One of the key advantages of Megalito is its resistance to low temperatures, ensuring stable yields even under adverse climatic conditions. The plant features a strong stem and robust root system, preventing lodging and promoting prolonged field retention of ears. Large ears, often 2-3 per plant, are well-protected by a dense dark-green "coat" that shields the kernels from pests and external damage.
Megalito is recommended to be grown with a spatial isolation of at least 300 meters from other types of grain and sugar corn (su-, se-) to maintain the purity of the variety. Thanks to its delicate qualities and high sugar content, this hybrid is ideal for fresh consumption, boiling, and industrial processing. Megalito is the choice of farmers seeking a tasty, juicy, and high-quality corn harvest.
