R 1922 Z

Corn hybrid R 1922 Z belongs to the medium-early maturity group with a vegetative period of about 113-115 days and FAO 240-250. This universal hybrid is suitable for cultivation both for grain and silage, making it popular in various agroclimatic zones, especially in steppe and forest-steppe regions. Plants reach a height of 230-260 cm and form cylindrical ears with 14-16 rows of kernels, contributing to high yield. A strong root system and robust, elastic stalk provide resistance to adverse conditions. R 1922 Z features rapid initial growth and genetic ability to form two ears, stabilizing and increasing yield. The hybrid demonstrates high resistance to lodging, cold, drought, and shattering, and is tolerant to major corn diseases such as helminthosporiosis, fusarium, and powdery mildew. These qualities make it a reliable choice for farmers aiming for stable and high yields. Optimal growing conditions include early planting, balanced mineral nutrition, and irrigation if necessary. Recommended plant density varies depending on region and purpose: for silage in forest-steppe — 70-75 thousand/ha, for grain in central steppe — 65-70 thousand/ha, and in southern steppe — 55-60 thousand/ha. Potential yield under proper care exceeds 120 centners/ha for grain and 500 centners/ha for silage, confirming the hybrid’s high productivity.
