MILENA M — an early super-sweet sh2+ hybrid corn with a vegetation period of about 72 days from emergence. The plant is robust, reaching 180-200 cm in height and capable of forming two ears, which increases yield. The ears are cylindrical, well-covered by dark green protective leaves, with a cleaned ear length of 24-26 cm, diameter of about 6 cm, and weight up to 800 g. The kernels are rectangular, dark yellow with a sheen, characterized by a very sweet taste with sugar content at 18-20%, without a starchy flavor, ensuring prolonged preservation of taste qualities. The storage duration of ears at 18-20°C reaches up to two weeks. The hybrid is resistant to helminthosporium, enhancing its reliability under various climatic conditions.
MILENA M is intended for fresh consumption, processing, and short-term storage. The plant tolerates adverse summer conditions such as high temperatures and drought, making it suitable for cultivation in regions with variable climates. The recommended sowing rate is 40-45 thousand seeds per hectare without irrigation and 50-70 thousand seeds per hectare with irrigation, allowing optimization of yield depending on growing conditions.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to stress factors, ensuring stable growth and development. Thanks to its strong root system and adaptive properties, corn MILENA M demonstrates good drought tolerance and resistance to lodging. These qualities, along with high initial growth energy and disease tolerance, make this hybrid attractive for cultivation in both intensive and extensive agronomic systems, providing high yield potential and excellent kernel taste.
