The P8573 corn hybrid is a high-yielding, mid-early simple hybrid with dent kernel type, intended for grain production. It is characterized by rapid early growth and high water use efficiency during maturity, which enhances water utilization and increases yield. The hybrid has a strong stalk, providing excellent resistance to lodging, as well as high drought tolerance, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions.
P8573 exhibits high tolerance to common corn diseases, particularly Helminthosporium, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss. It is recommended to sow the hybrid at optimal times, avoiding overly early or late plantings, and to apply post-emergence herbicides strictly according to crop development stages. The hybrid is suitable for cultivation in monoculture as well as in minimum tillage systems, expanding its applicability across various agronomic systems.
To achieve maximum productivity, it is recommended to follow optimal planting density: 75-80 thousand plants per hectare under adequate water supply, and 65-70 thousand under limited water conditions. Seed treatment with the two-component insecticide protector Forza Zea provides protection against soil and above-ground pests, as well as deters birds, helping to preserve the crop and increase yield. The P8573 hybrid is suitable for cultivation throughout Ukraine and is distinguished by high stability and adaptability.
