Corn hybrid Talan is a medium-early, silvery-toothed type with a vegetation period of 108 to 119 days. This variety is characterized by active early growth and high cold resistance, ensuring rapid adaptation to various climatic conditions and stable high yields. Plants reach a height of 300–320 cm, with ear attachment height around 120 cm. Ears are heavy and well-filled, containing 440 to 540 kernels arranged in 14–16 rows of 28–34 kernels per row. Thousand kernel weight ranges from 380 to 400 g, indicating large and high-quality kernels. Hybrid Talan has high drought resistance (rating 9 out of 10) and good disease resistance, including resistance to corn leaf blight and gray leaf spot (rating 9), as well as lodging resistance (rating 8). Recommended planting density depends on the cultivation zone: for Polissia, optimal density is 75–80 thousand plants per hectare; for forest-steppe, 65–70 thousand. Yield potential reaches 10 tons of grain per hectare. Optimal preceding crops for this variety are peas, potatoes, winter wheat, sugar beet, soybean, and winter barley. For storage, corn seeds of variety Talan require air temperature maintained between +7–10°C and seed moisture not exceeding 10%. The variety is distinguished by high protein content — around 9.1% — making it attractive for grain production. Due to its agronomic characteristics and resistance to adverse factors, corn hybrid Talan is a reliable choice for cultivation in the Polissia region and other areas with similar climatic conditions.
