Corn STINE 9714 is a high-yielding hybrid with a maturity period of 105-107 days and plant height ranging from 180 to 200 cm. The ear contains 35-45 rows of kernels, with approximately 16 kernels per row. The kernels have a dent shape, and the ear color is pink. The hybrid features semi-flexible stem structure and medium ear position, ensuring good resistance to lodging and adverse weather conditions. STINE 9714 is suitable for cultivation under various planting densities, demonstrating high productivity at medium density and excellent response to pesticide application.
This hybrid is developed based on unique genetics from the American company Stine Seed, which is the largest independent seed company in the USA. In Europe, the development of this genetics continues through the Romanian company SOYTEK ltd. The key feature of Stine hybrids is their adaptation to modern climatic challenges, such as increased dry periods and higher average annual temperatures. Thanks to the innovative High-Population Corn technology, which involves planting with 50 cm row spacing and high density up to 115-116 thousand plants per hectare, corn closes the row gaps more quickly, reducing weed competition, lowering soil overheating, and reducing water evaporation, creating more favorable growth conditions.
Advantages of the STINE 9714 hybrid include high drought resistance, suitability for high planting density, which contributes to increased yield, and ease of agronomic operations due to the low stature of the plants. Early maturity and early harvest allow for efficient crop rotation planning. The application of fertilizers with mandatory sulfur addition improves nitrogen uptake and reduces the required amount, making cultivation more economical and environmentally friendly. Thus, STINE 9714 is a modern corn hybrid, ideally adapted to changing climatic conditions and agricultural production requirements.
