P 8240 is a hybrid corn, belonging to simple two-line hybrids with dent kernel type. It is characterized by early maturity with a vegetative period of approximately 97-110 days and belongs to FAO 200. The plant is tall or very tall, with wide leaf blades and cylindrical ears, which have medium or large length and thickness. Kernel color is bicolor: the upper part is orange, the lower part is yellow. Anthocyanin pigmentation of the stalk and other plant parts varies from absent to medium intensity. Leaf and branch position is curved, which promotes good air circulation and light exposure.
Hybrid P 8240 is distinguished by high yield and lodging resistance, making it a reliable choice for various agronomic conditions. Average yield across regions ranges from 46 to 57.6 ц/га, with maximum yields reaching up to 84.8 ц/га under favorable conditions. Grain moisture at harvest is about 22.8%, facilitating subsequent processing and storage. The hybrid is suitable for cultivation in the North Caucasus and Lower Volga regions, and adapts well to both conventional and minimal tillage technologies, including irrigation.
P 8240 is a high-yielding and stable hybrid widely used in agriculture for grain production. Its agronomic characteristics ensure a reliable and high-quality harvest, making it popular among farmers and agribusinesses striving for efficient and sustainable farming.
