VD 51 S

VD 51 S is a high-yielding corn hybrid designed for cultivation under various climatic conditions. The plant is medium-height with well-developed leaf surface and a pronounced 'Stay green' effect, ensuring prolonged retention of green biomass and high photosynthetic activity. The hybrid exhibits vigorous early vegetative growth, high cold tolerance, and resistance to soil and air drought, making it suitable for various bioclimatic zones, including forest-steppe and steppe regions. Plant height reaches 230–280 cm, and ear attachment height is 100–110 cm. VD 51 S possesses high resistance to major corn diseases such as common rust, stem fusarium, and helminthosporium, contributing to stable yields. The hybrid demonstrates high grain yield potential, exceeding 15 tons per hectare, along with good lodging resistance. The 1000-grain weight is 310–330 grams, indicating large kernel size and high product quality. Cultivation technology requires optimal planting density depending on soil moisture: 60–75 thousand plants per hectare in well-watered zones and 55–65 thousand in less moist zones. Additionally, corn VD 51 S can be used for producing canned sweet corn, a product made from whole kernels with added water, sugar, and salt.
