Maize Nk Falkon

NK Falkone — an early and mid-early hybrid corn, developed by Syngenta, designed for high-quality grain, silage, and meal production. It features a strong start and rapid early growth, ensuring good adaptability and cold resistance. The plant belongs to the Stay Green type, which helps maintain green mass for a longer period and enhances resistance to external stress factors, including cold, drought, and lodging. Thanks to these qualities, the hybrid is ideal for cultivation in the Polissia and Forest-Steppe regions.

NK Falkone exhibits high resistance to root and stalk rots, as well as other diseases, ensuring stable and productive yields. Plants have a strong root system and an excellent stem with uniform medium-sized ears. The kernel type is cream-colored with a warm yellow tint, featuring high starch content — around 75% — making it suitable for processing into meal. The hybrid demonstrates excellent water release speed during maturation, facilitating harvest and improving product quality.

To achieve maximum yield potential, balanced mineral nutrition, optimal irrigation, and timely planting are recommended. The optimal plant population is 65,000 to 90,000 plants per hectare. The hybrid is lodging-resistant and should not be treated with high rates of sulfonylurea herbicides. NK Falkone is suitable for post-harvest planting and delivers high-quality grain and silage, making it a versatile choice for various agronomic conditions.
