Corn hybrid of the variety Polux is a mid-early simple hybrid intended for grain production. The plant has a traditional type with a cream-colored, toothed kernel, characterized by medium height and a long ear with a short or medium stalk. Leaves are slightly curved, the angle between leaf blade and stem varies from small to medium, and anthocyanin pigmentation of roots and silk is weak or absent. The vegetation period is approximately 108 days, which is several days less than the standard period, and the harvest moisture of the grain reaches about 21.5%. The Polux variety is distinguished by high yield and resistance to adverse conditions. The average yield in the North Caucasus region is 46 c/ha, with maximum yields reaching up to 73.5 c/ha in individual farms. The hybrid exhibits high drought and cold resistance, as well as resistance to Fusarium of stem and ear, ensuring a stable and high yield potential. The plant demonstrates adaptability to various soil-climatic conditions and is recommended for cultivation in the Polissya and forest-steppe zones with varying water availability. A distinctive feature of the Polux corn is its rapid water release and high resistance to lodging, which facilitates harvesting and reduces yield losses. The recommended plant density at harvest varies depending on the moisture level of the cultivation zone, allowing for optimized agronomic practices tailored to specific conditions. Thanks to its combination of high productivity, adaptability, and disease resistance, this hybrid is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain quality grain.
