The plant is characterized by its high stature and broad leaves, while the ear has medium length and thickness with a cylindrical shape. The hybrid's kernels are intermediate type, with the upper part yellow and the lower part orange, giving them an attractive appearance. A distinctive feature of this variety is its high sugar concentration in the kernels, which ensures excellent taste and high-quality harvest, making it ideal for fresh consumption, salad, soup preparation, and canning.
The hybrid is adapted to various soil and climatic conditions, allowing it to be grown in a wide range of regions. The most favorable soils for PH 7 HG are medium and clay soils, but with adequate moisture and nutrients, it grows successfully on sandy-loam, loamy-sand, and sandy soils, particularly in northern regions. The optimal pH level for growing corn ranges from 5.6 to 7.2, which promotes better plant development and yield formation.
To enhance productivity, it is recommended to apply nitrogen fertilizers containing sulfur during the 5-6 leaf stage, applying them to the root zone using inter-row fertilization equipment or applicators. Using YaraBela Sulfan N24 S6 fertilizer promotes active nitrogen uptake and improves plant nutrition during the critical growth period. Due to its characteristics and adaptability, the PH 7 HG hybrid is an excellent choice for farmers aiming to obtain a high-quality and flavorful sweet corn harvest.
