R 0015

R 0015 — a mid-early maize hybrid with dent-type kernels, possessing high initial growth energy and good water shedding. This hybrid is distinguished by cold resistance, making it suitable for early planting. Plants reach a height of about 220 cm, and ears are positioned at approximately 90 cm. Kernels are yellow and arranged in rows of 14-16, ensuring good harvest structure. The hybrid features a strong root system and resistance to root and stem lodging, contributing to stable yields even under adverse conditions.

R 0015 exhibits high resistance to various diseases, including smut diseases and Fusarium stalk and ear rot. The hybrid also demonstrates high drought and heat tolerance, confirmed by an 8 out of 9 rating on drought resistance scale. Due to these qualities, R 0015 is well-suited for cultivation in the Forest-Steppe and Polissia regions. Moreover, the hybrid is resistant to pests such as the corn earworm, and retains resistance to lodging even 30 days after maturity.

For planting, soil temperature should be at least 8-10°C, enabling early planting. The hybrid has no restrictions on the use of sulfanilamide herbicides, simplifying crop management. R 0015 demonstrates high yield potential both under optimal and stress conditions, making it a profitable choice for farmers aiming to achieve a stable and high-quality maize harvest.
