Maize TEBERDA 397

TEBERDA 397 — this is a medium-maturing hybrid of corn (Zea mays L.), intended for grain production. The plant is tall with broad leaf blades and a cylindrical, long ear of thick diameter. The kernels are toothed and colored orange both at the top and bottom. The vegetative period is approximately 113 days, and the grain moisture at harvest is about 20.2%. The hybrid is characterized by medium kernel density and strong anthocyanic stem coloring, which enhances the plant's resistance to diseases. The hybrid is distinguished by high drought tolerance and good resistance to lodging, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions and soil types. The plant has weak anthocyanic root and tassel coloring, as well as the absence of base tassel coloring, which is a feature of this variety. Due to its ability to accumulate anthocyanins in the stem, TEBERDA 397 is resistant to stalk rot and common smut, significantly reducing yield losses and improving grain quality. The recommended planting density is 60,000 plants per hectare under dry conditions and up to 80,000 under adequate moisture. The hybrid's seeds are suitable for agricultural purposes and meet farmer production standards. The average yield in the region reaches 60.5 centners per hectare, with maximum yields up to 170.9 centners, confirming the hybrid's high productivity and adaptability.
