Corn RM 146 is a medium-late, simple hybrid with high yield potential and resistance to various adverse factors. The vegetation period is approximately 115 days, which is 5 days shorter than the standard period, and the thousand-grain weight ranges from 300 to 340 grams. Plants of medium to high height (260-280 cm) have straight, slightly curved leaves with a small angle between the leaf blade and stem. The ear attachment height is within 90-100 cm, which facilitates harvesting and reduces lodging risk.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to root and stem lodging, as well as low susceptibility to fusarium ear and stalk borer infestations. The plant is well-adapted to drought, heat, and cold, making it suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones, including forest-steppe, steppe, and meadow regions. Corn RM 146 demonstrates high stress resistance and rapid grain drying after harvest, which simplifies subsequent processing and storage of the crop.
The recommended planting density depends on moisture conditions: in dry areas, 50,000–55,000 plants per hectare are optimal, while in well-watered zones — 60,000–65,000 plants per hectare. The hybrid responds well to fertilizer application and irrigation, enabling high yields — up to 15–20 tons of grain and 45–80 tons of silage per hectare. Due to its characteristics, RM 146 is suitable for both grain production and silage, ensuring a stable and high-quality harvest.
