The hybrid corn variety Turkizia is an early-maturing, high-yielding variety with high resistance to drought, lodging, and a complex of diseases, including ear fusarium. The plant, of medium height, reaches 240–250 cm, with ears approximately 25 cm long, having a weakly conical shape and medium-length stalk. The kernels are cream-colored, toothed, yellow at the top, with a 1000-kernel weight of 260–270 g, ensuring high starch content and excellent silage digestibility.
Turkizia is distinguished by its versatility and adaptability, allowing it to be effectively grown for both grain and silage. The vegetative period is about 105 days, with dry matter content reaching 27.5%, contributing to high yields. Recommended planting density varies depending on conditions: in humid areas, 80,000 plants per hectare for grain and 90–95,000 for silage; in dry areas, 75,000 and 80–85,000 respectively.
The hybrid demonstrates high stress resistance, including tolerance to adverse early spring conditions, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions. High yields of dry matter and grain are confirmed by practical results exceeding standards in central regions. Due to its characteristics, Turkizia is an effective and stable solution for agricultural production, ensuring high-quality and abundant harvests.
