SY CARIOCA corn seeds are a mid-late maturity hybrid with dent kernel type, intended for grain, silage, corn for ethanol and root crop production. The hybrid is characterized by high yield potential and grain quality when grown using intensive irrigation-based cultivation technologies, particularly effective in the Ukrainian Steppe. Erect leaf arrangement promotes optimal plant development, while a strong stalk ensures resistance to lodging and breakage, reducing harvest losses.
One of the key features of SY CARIOCA is its synchronized flowering of tassel and ear, ensuring effective pollination from the first days of flowering and promoting high yields. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to major corn diseases, including Stewart's wilt, as well as good cold tolerance, drought resistance, and resistance to root and stalk rots. This makes it a reliable choice for intensive agriculture in irrigated areas.
Recommended cultivation practices include optimal sowing timing into warmed soil at +8...12°C, with seed planting depth. The hybrid is suitable for monoculture and best expresses its potential under adequate moisture with a recommended planting density of 70–75 thousand plants per hectare. SY CARIOCA is an effective and economically viable solution for farmers aiming to achieve high and stable corn yields under irrigation conditions.
