Maize ODL-1

Corn hybrid ODL-1 is an early-maturing variety with a vegetative period of about 85 days, intended for cultivation in open ground. The plant reaches a height of up to 2.2 meters and forms 1-2 large ears per stalk, the first of which begins at a height of about 50 cm. Optimal planting conditions include soil temperature not lower than 10 °C and moist soil, which promotes rapid and high sugar accumulation in the kernels. This variety is characterized by high plasticity and adaptability to various growing conditions. ODL-1 exhibits high resistance to several diseases, including rust, northern helminthosporium, and bacterial blight, as well as moderate resistance to southern helminthosporium. The ears have an average length of about 21 cm and diameter of 5 cm, with 18-20 rows of kernels, depth 13-14 mm. Kernels are large, with a distinct sweet taste, making this variety in demand for both industrial processing — canning and freezing — and for fresh market sales. High kernel yield per ear and high taste score make ODL-1 attractive to farmers seeking to combine productivity and early maturity. Due to its large kernels and excellent flavor qualities, this hybrid is widely used in culinary applications. Moreover, the variety demonstrates good resistance to adverse weather conditions, ensuring a stable yield and high product quality.
