NS 420 is a late-maturing corn hybrid with FAO 420, designed for high grain yields. The hybrid features vigorous growth due to a strong root system and sturdy stalk, ensuring resistance to lodging and high yield potential. The dent-type grain has an optimal moisture-to-starch ratio, enhancing its quality and value for processing.
NS 420 hybrid demonstrates broad adaptability to various climatic conditions and high resistance to major corn diseases and pests, including corn earworm and corn borer. This reduces the risk of yield loss and minimizes the need for intensive chemical protection. An additional advantage is high drought and heat tolerance, as well as the ability to withstand delays of over 30 days, providing flexibility in harvest timing.
To achieve maximum productivity, it is recommended to follow optimal planting density, which varies by region: from 30-40 thousand plants per hectare in steppe zones to 65-75 thousand in the Polissia region. Balanced fertilizer application and irrigation as needed help unlock the full potential of the hybrid. Plant height reaches approximately 255 cm, with ear attachment at 120 cm, facilitating harvest and reducing losses.
