R 18009 is a mid-late hybrid corn with a waxy kernel type, intended for grain cultivation for subsequent starch production. The plants are tall with strong ear attachment, ensuring good resistance to lodging. The hybrid is characterized by high yield and is adapted to the conditions of the Forest Steppe and Steppe regions, demonstrating moderate drought and heat tolerance.
R 18009 possesses strong immunity to common corn diseases, contributing to stable yields even under high temperatures and dry climate conditions. The recommended planting density varies depending on soil moisture: 55-60 thousand plants per hectare under insufficient moisture, and 60-65 thousand plants per hectare under adequate moisture. To achieve maximum productivity, it is important to observe optimal sowing and harvest times.
The hybrid is not recommended for monoculture cultivation (corn planted with corn) to avoid reduced yields and soil degradation. Due to its good adaptability to climatic conditions and resistance to root lodging, R 18009 is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain high-quality and high-yield corn crops.
