Tavor — a mid-season corn hybrid with a vegetation period of about 80 days, designed for cultivation under various climatic conditions, including arid regions. The plant reaches a height of approximately 2.3 meters, which helps suppress weed growth and improves resistance to lodging and stem breakage. The Tavor corn hybrid is characterized by high adaptability and low maintenance requirements, developing well on different soil types and maintaining high yields even without irrigation. The hybrid is resistant to a wide spectrum of viral and fungal diseases, including fusarium rot and smut. Tavor corn ears have a proper cylindrical shape, measuring about 22 cm in length and 5.5–5.7 cm in diameter, with 20–22 rows of bright yellow, smooth, and shiny kernels. The kernels have a super-sweet taste, high sugar and fiber content, making this hybrid particularly attractive for fresh consumption and processing. The corn retains juiciness and sugar content even after storage, expanding its usability in freezing and canning. Ear weight ranges from 250 to 350 grams, ensuring high marketability and product uniformity. Tavor corn can be grown both by seedling and direct seeding. Direct seeding is performed from mid-April to the end of the second decade of May, when soil temperature reaches 10°C at a depth of 8 cm, with planting depth of 4–6 cm and row spacing of 60–70 cm. The seedling method allows harvest several weeks earlier. Successful cultivation requires regular watering, weed control, thinning, and application of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. The hybrid is recommended for fresh vegetable markets as well as for grain and silage processing, making it a versatile and highly efficient choice for farmers.
