PX 23 G 8 — a medium-early corn hybrid with dent kernel type, intended for grain and silage production. It is characterized by good grain quality, high resistance to stalk lodging, excellent drought tolerance, and high water-use efficiency. The hybrid has a grain yield potential ranging from 9.3 to 12.2 tons per hectare and is recommended for cultivation in steppe and forest-steppe zones. The optimal plant density at harvest is 65 to 75 thousand plants per hectare, depending on growing conditions. To achieve maximum productivity, avoid late harvesting and apply pre-emergence herbicides according to crop development stages.
To enhance seed germination energy and field emergence up to 10%, seed treatment with VYMPREL®-K at a rate of 0.5–1 kg per ton and complex microfertilizer ORACUL® at a rate of 1.5 liters per ton is recommended. This treatment promotes enhanced root system growth and additional root formation, increasing drought resistance by 21% and heat tolerance by 14%. Additionally, leaf area and vegetative biomass increase, and disease resistance improves. Application of the growth stimulator VYMPREL 2® at a rate of 500 g per hectare accelerates metabolic processes in tissues, improves nutrient uptake, reduces water consumption by 18%, and enhances photosynthetic productivity, ultimately increasing yield by 15% compared to herbicide-only treatment.
An essential part of the technology is the use of microfertilizers ORACUL®, which provide plants with all necessary nutrients regardless of weather conditions or soil status. Application of microfertilizers containing zinc and phosphorus promotes full corn growth and development and increases yield. When micronutrient deficiencies occur, fertilizers with boron, sulfur, iron, copper, manganese, and magnesium are applied. For further improvement of nutrient uptake and increased disease resistance, seed treatment with the inoculant MicroSorcha Plus Corn, containing phosphorus-mobilizing and nitrogen-mobilizing bacteria, is recommended, which enhances yield and plant health.
