TCHOURI / CHOURI

TCHOURI — this is a medium-early simple two-line hybrid corn (Zea mays L.) intended for grain production. The hybrid is included in the State Register for the Central Chernozem region (5) and is characterized by stable high yields. The vegetation period is approximately 114 days, which is one day longer than the standard period for this region. Average grain yield reaches 93.9 centners per hectare, 41.6% higher than the standard, with a maximum yield recorded at 132 centners per hectare in the Lipetsk region in 2018. Grain moisture at harvest is at 22.3%, meeting standard requirements. The plant is tall with medium-width leaves and slightly curved stems. Anthocyanin pigmentation of various plant parts, including the sheath of the first leaf, roots at the stem, and panicle bracts, varies from weak to medium, while the silk is not pigmented. The tassel is characterized by medium density of florets, with the main axis positioned above the long upper lateral branch, and numerous long curved lateral branches. The ear is short or medium-sized, cylindrical in shape with medium-length stalks and a high number of rows of kernels. The kernel is dent-shaped, with orange coloring on the upper part and yellow-orange on the lower part. The TCHOURI hybrid was developed by MONSANTO TECHNOLOGY LLC and is suitable for cultivation in the Central Chernozem region of Russia. Its high yield and adaptation to local conditions make it an attractive choice for grain production. Thanks to its medium-early maturity and stable agronomic characteristics, this hybrid ensures efficient use of sown areas and stable harvests.
