RM 501 is a late-maturing corn hybrid with a vegetative period of about 118 days, intended for grain use. The plant is characterized by high height and medium leaf width, with a long cylindrical ear and a large number of rows of kernels. The kernels are dent-shaped, yellow, with strong anthocyanic pigmentation of the cob. The hybrid has medium kernel density and weak to medium anthocyanic pigmentation of various plant parts, which is its distinctive morphological feature. RM 501 hybrid demonstrates high yield and adaptability to various climatic conditions. The average grain yield in the region is about 63.9 c/ha, with maximum yields reaching 142.5 c/ha, exceeding the standard level. Grain moisture at harvest is approximately 25.3%, facilitating rapid drying. Dry matter content reaches 40.7%, and normalized dry matter yield can reach 283.3 c/ha. The hybrid is resistant to stalk rot, but susceptible to moderate Fusarium ear rot and common smut, as well as severe damage by corn borer. RM 501 is suitable for cultivation under stressful and optimal conditions, making it a versatile choice for various regions. Its yield potential reaches 14 tons per hectare, confirming the hybrid's high productivity and economic efficiency. Due to its characteristics, RM 501 is a reliable solution for farmers aiming to achieve high and stable corn grain yields.
