CORN S

Focus on delicate flavor: The «Krona S» hybrid profile

In the sweet corn segment intended for deep processing, the «Krona S» hybrid occupies a niche of specialized raw materials. Its development is the result of breeding work by the All-Russian Research Institute of Corn (led by Y. V. Sotchenko), where the primary focus was not on grain yield per hectare, but on the technological properties of the ear.

Why do canning plants choose this hybrid?

The main feature of «Krona S» is its strict adherence to food industry standards. The hybrid's grain possesses an optimal sugar content and a tender pericarp, which is critical for canning and the production of frozen foods. Unlike fodder or universal hybrids, where starchiness accumulates too rapidly, this variety allows growers to hit the peak of milk ripeness, ensuring high sensory ratings for the finished product.

Technological nuances and application

• Purpose: Exclusively for food use. Ideal for industrial canning — the grain retains its shape and aesthetic appeal in brine.
• Stability: The originator (LLC SP SSK Kukuruza) ensured resistance to key diseases common to the cultivation zone, reducing the need for excessive chemical treatments.
• Recommendations: Optimal for farms working under contract with processing plants. High commercial grain output per ear makes it economically viable for vegetable canning producers.

The strengths of the hybrid include its result predictability: the stable chemical composition allows factory technologists to simplify the sterilization process and standardize recipes. The downside is its narrow specialization — this hybrid should not be considered for livestock feed or dry grain production, as its true potential is realized solely within the vegetable segment.
