Corn P88844 — this is a mid-early simple hybrid with dent-type grain, characterized by high efficiency in utilizing available moisture. The hybrid has FAO 280, providing an optimal maturation period for mid-early varieties. The plant is tall with strong ear attachment, contributing to resistance against lodging, and also has a high starch content, making it versatile for use as grain, as well as for alcohol and silage production.
This hybrid demonstrates good early development and excellent drought tolerance, allowing it to grow effectively even under insufficient moisture. Resistance to smut diseases is rated at level 6 out of 9, providing additional protection for the crop. Suitable for monoculture, but not recommended for minimal soil tillage and late harvesting. Planting is recommended at optimal times, and appropriate post-emergence herbicides should be applied according to plant growth stages.
To achieve maximum yield, the recommended planting density is 70-75 thousand plants per hectare under adequate moisture, and 60-65 thousand plants per hectare under insufficient moisture. Planting this hybrid in very early, early, late, or very late planting dates is not recommended, as these ensure optimal conditions for crop development and maturation.
