Hybrid corn Moped (FAO 320) from the manufacturer Soufflet Seeds is a medium-early dent type hybrid intended for grain production. The vegetative period is 118-126 days, allowing the hybrid to successfully grow under various climatic conditions, including forest-steppe and steppe regions. The plant reaches a height of 210-220 cm, with ear attachment height around 85 cm. The number of rows per ear ranges from 18 to 22, with 34-36 kernels per row. The 1000-kernel mass is between 300-330 grams, indicating high seed quality. Hybrid Moped is characterized by high drought resistance, scoring 9 points for this trait, as well as resistance to major corn diseases such as gray leaf spot and southern rust, ensuring stable yields. Resistance to lodging is rated at 8 points. The recommended planting density at harvest is 14-18 rows per hectare, promoting optimal plant development and maximizing yield potential, which reaches 15 tons per hectare. Optimal preceding crops for this hybrid include winter pea, potato, winter wheat, sugar beet, soybean, and winter barley. For storage, corn seeds of Moped should be kept at air temperature of +7-10°C and seed moisture not exceeding 10%, ensuring seed viability and quality. Kernel color is yellow, typical for dent hybrids.
