PX 2 F 42 is a mid-late maturing corn hybrid belonging to the sweet corn category with high sugar content and excellent flavor. The plant is robust, reaching a height of about 220 cm, with medium-sized leaf blades and slightly curved shape. The ear is of medium length and diameter, with kernels having a soft-yellow color, intermediate type closer to dent, with yellow upper part and yellow-orange lower part. The hybrid is characterized by weak anthocyanic coloring of various plant parts, which is its distinguishing feature. This corn hybrid has a long period in the milky stage, making it ideal for boiling and fresh consumption. High kernel sugar content exceeding 12% ensures superior taste. PX 2 F 42 is drought-tolerant and stress-resistant, enabling stable yields even under adverse climatic conditions. Due to its characteristics, the hybrid is suitable for forming harvesting conveyor systems, facilitating mechanized harvest. For successful cultivation of PX 2 F 42, adequate light and moisture must be provided, and soil must be properly prepared with necessary fertilizers including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and microelements. Harvesting is recommended during technical maturity when the silks on the ear have dried and kernels have fully formed. Adhering to agronomic requirements enables full potential of the hybrid to be realized and yields high-quality sweet corn.
