Maize Shihan

Shihan — an early-maturing trihybrid corn hybrid of universal use, intended for both grain and silage production. Plants of this hybrid are tall, reaching a height of 210-225 cm, with medium-width leaves. The ear is cylindrical, of medium length, with a stalk ranging from medium to long, containing a medium number of rows of kernels. The kernels are dent-shaped and colored orange both at the top and bottom.

The hybrid exhibits high resistance to root lodging and stem breakage below the ear during standstill, ensuring yield preservation under adverse conditions. Additionally, Shihan demonstrates cold tolerance and good early growth, facilitating successful cultivation across various climatic zones. It is also resistant to common smut disease, enhancing its reliability and grain quality.

The 1000-kernel weight is 256 grams, and the average grain yield in the Volga region reaches 73.8 centners per hectare. These characteristics make the Shihan hybrid an attractive choice for farmers seeking high and stable corn yields with universal applications.
