R 15037 is a simple grain corn hybrid, distinguished by its stability and high yield. It features a strong stalk and yellow, hard-kernel type seeds, ensuring high product quality. The hybrid has the maximum number of kernels per row (36-40) and a high number of rows per ear (14-16), contributing to a yield potential of up to 9 tons per hectare. The plant height is high, and its resistance to lodging and Helminthosporium is rated at 8 out of 10, ensuring crop preservation under adverse weather conditions.
Hybrid R 15037 is adapted to drought conditions and demonstrates excellent tolerance to high temperatures, making it suitable for cultivation in forest-steppe and steppe agro-climatic zones, including Eastern and Central Forest-Steppe, and Northern and Southern Steppe. It is resistant to common corn diseases such as stalk rot, ear rot, and root and stalk rot, and exhibits high tolerance to pests, including corn borer. Thanks to its high rate of moisture loss by kernels during maturation, the hybrid allows for harvesting at later dates without risk of kernel shattering.
R 15037 is suitable for cultivation in monoculture and in fields with minimal or zero tillage (No-Till technology). The recommended planting density varies depending on water availability: 70-75 thousand plants per hectare for grain under sufficient moisture and 55-65 thousand plants under insufficient moisture. The hybrid is intended for grain, silage, and biogas production, requiring approximately 1850 °C of accumulated active temperature for grain and 1600 °C for silage. This makes R 15037 a versatile and reliable choice for modern agricultural enterprises.
