Corn variety SILVANER is a mid-late simple hybrid with dent kernel type and FAO 350. This variety is characterized by high grain yield potential up to 200 centners per hectare and is suitable for cultivation in various regions, including western, central, north-eastern, and southern areas. The vegetation period is 100-120 days, ensuring optimal maturity under conditions of Polissia and forest-steppe. Plants reach a height of 290-310 cm, with ear attachment height of 110-120 cm, facilitating harvesting and good ear alignment.
SILVANER is characterized by excellent drought resistance and high stress tolerance, making it a reliable choice for regions with variable moisture levels. Early vigorous growth and pronounced stay green effect ensure prolonged photosynthetic activity, contributing to stable and high yields. Recommended planting density varies depending on soil moisture: 70-75 thousand seeds per hectare under optimal moisture, and 60-65 thousand seeds per hectare under suboptimal conditions.
Agronomic characteristics of the variety include 14-16 rows per ear, 38-44 kernels per row, and total kernel count per ear reaching 480-640. The 1000-kernel weight is 360-420 g, protein content is 9.7%, and starch content is 73.6%. These parameters ensure high-quality grain suitable for grain use. Seed packaging is in 80 thousand units, convenient for planning sowing operations.
