Maize P 9874

P 9874 is a mid-season corn hybrid with FAO 380, intended for grain production. It features a dent kernel type and tri-linear hybrid structure, providing high yield potential of up to 12-15 tons per hectare under optimal conditions. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to lodging and excellent drought tolerance, making it a reliable choice for various climatic zones, including Polissia, Forest-Steppe, and Northern Steppe of Ukraine.

One of the key advantages of P 9874 is its high adaptability and stable yield within its maturity group. The hybrid demonstrates rapid and efficient water release, promoting timely maturity and reducing harvest losses. Optimal plant population varies depending on moisture conditions: from 50-60 thousand plants per hectare in dry conditions to 75-95 thousand under adequate moisture and irrigation. High stalk strength and optimal ear attachment height provide additional resistance to lodging.

For successful cultivation, early planting and late harvest should be avoided, and post-emergence herbicides should be applied according to crop development stages. The hybrid shows high tolerance to common diseases, including helminthosporiosis, with disease resistance rated 8-9 on a 9-point scale. All these characteristics make P 9874 a reliable and high-yielding corn hybrid suitable for diverse agroclimatic conditions.
