Corn P88717 is a high-quality hybrid with dent-type kernels, designed for cultivation under various climatic conditions. This variety features good early development and high plant vigor with strong stalk attachment, contributing to resistance against lodging. Due to its high starch content, corn is suitable for use as grain, as well as for alcohol and silage production.
The hybrid belongs to the mid-early maturity group with a FAO rating of 280, ensuring optimal harvest timing and high yields when proper agronomic recommendations are followed. Corn demonstrates excellent drought tolerance and good water efficiency upon reaching physiological maturity, which facilitates harvesting and reduces yield losses.
P88717 exhibits high resistance to major diseases, including stalk rot, and shows consistent performance across various soil-climatic zones. It is recommended to sow at optimal times while adhering to seeding rates depending on soil moisture levels — from 60 to 75 thousand plants per hectare. For weed control, apply post-emergence herbicides according to crop development stages.
