Skype is a hybrid corn with dent-type yellow kernels, medium maturity, and FAO index 250. It is a three-line modified hybrid intended for cultivation both for grain and silage. Main advantages of this variety include high resistance to lodging, large ears with high kernel density, as well as adaptation to early planting and extensive cultivation technologies. A distinctive feature of the hybrid is the 'stay green' type, where the vegetative part of the plant retains green color and increased moisture even after physiological maturity of the grain, which contributes to better harvest quality. Hybrid Skype is well adapted to early spring cold conditions, allowing successful cultivation in various regions of Russia, including Central, North Caucasus, Central Chernozem, Volga, Lower Volga, Ural, West Siberian, and Far Eastern regions. Due to high resistance to adverse weather conditions and diseases, as well as ability to withstand spring frosts, this hybrid ensures stable and high yields, reaching potential up to 120 centners per hectare. Skype is characterized by high drought and heat tolerance, allowing late harvest without significant losses. Its resistance to lodging and diseases, as well as high productivity, make this hybrid attractive to farmers seeking quality grain and silage. Due to its characteristics, Skype is suitable for cultivation in various agroclimatic conditions and can be used both in intensive and extensive farming technologies.
