WESLEY corn seeds are a mid-early maturity hybrid with FAO maturity group 230, intended for grain production. The kernel type is flint-silky, which ensures higher starch content and good moisture release at maturity. Plants have a medium maximum height of about 365 cm, with ears containing 14-16 rows of kernels and 35-40 kernels per row. The average 1000-kernel weight is 312 grams, indicating high yield potential within its maturity group.
The hybrid exhibits high plasticity and wide geographical adaptability, allowing successful cultivation in various climatic zones, including the Polesie, steppe, and forest-steppe regions. WESLEY has high drought tolerance, resistance to common smut, fusarium, and other stress factors, as well as resistance to lodging. The energy of initial growth is at a good level, promoting successful plant adaptation under different conditions. Recommended planting density varies depending on soil moisture: 65-85 thousand plants per hectare under adequate moisture, 55-65 thousand under limited moisture, and 45-55 thousand under dry conditions.
To achieve maximum yield, it is recommended to grow the WESLEY hybrid in crop rotation using traditional soil preparation techniques. The regular and attractive ear with well-developed basal part ensures ease of harvest and high grain quality. Thanks to its agronomic traits and resistance to adverse conditions, this hybrid is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve stable and high corn yields.
