PH 1 MRK — a mid-season bicolor sweet corn hybrid of sh2 type, with a vegetation period of 78-80 days. This hybrid is a continuation of the popular bicolor corn variety with an increased number of rows of kernels, which contributes to higher yields. The marbled F1 corn exhibits high adaptability to various soil and climatic conditions, allowing successful cultivation in all regions of the country, including areas with periodic water shortages. The hybrid is suitable for main planting and demonstrates stable growth throughout the entire vegetation period.
Plants reach a height of 205-215 cm, do not form bushiness, and the ear attachment height is 80-90 cm. The cylindrical ear, 22-23 cm long, contains about 16 rows of kernels. The kernels are light yellow with an orange tint, oval-shaped, and have a textured surface. The hybrid is characterized by moderate cold resistance, good drought tolerance, and positively responds to improved growing conditions. In addition, PH 1 MRK exhibits resistance to diseases such as gray leaf spot, corn borer, and stalk rot, reducing the risk of yield losses.
To ensure high yields, a comprehensive fertilization system is recommended, including seed preparation, base fertilization, pre-sowing fertilization, and top-dressings at various growth stages of corn. Proper selection of mineral and microfertilizers, along with adherence to recommended application rates according to soil requirements and preceding crops, is crucial. This approach promotes optimal plant growth and maximum hybrid productivity.
