Stira — this is a high-yielding hybrid of sweet corn with an early maturity period, distinguished by excellent taste and versatility. The plant reaches a height of approximately 1.8-1.9 meters and produces 2-3 fully formed cylindrical ears, 24-26 cm long and about 5 cm in diameter. Each ear contains 16-18 rows of bright yellow kernels with high sugar content, making the corn exceptionally sweet and flavorful. The vegetative period is approximately 71-78 days, allowing for an early harvest under proper agronomic practices and consistent watering.
The hybrid Stira exhibits high resistance to heat, drought, and many diseases, ensuring stable yields under various climatic conditions. The plant is robust and medium-height, and the ears have significant weight — from 220 to 500 grams depending on growing conditions. Due to these characteristics, the corn is suitable for direct sowing in open ground or cultivation through seedlings using agrofabric to protect early seedlings. The recommended planting density is approximately 55,000 plants per hectare.
Sweet corn Stira is widely used in culinary applications thanks to its sweet taste and juiciness. It is suitable for fresh consumption, freezing, and canning. The kernels are rich in vitamins E, A, C, as well as minerals — calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and selenium — which help improve metabolism, strengthen immunity, and support skin health. The product helps normalize gastrointestinal tract function and cleans blood vessels. However, individuals with allergies or diabetes should consider potential contraindications related to digestion and blood sugar levels.
