J 2490 Z

J 2490 Z is a medium-early simple hybrid of corn (Zea mays L.) intended for cultivation in the Central Chernozem region. The hybrid's vegetation period is approximately 125 days, allowing for a stable harvest at optimal times. The grain of this hybrid is dent-shaped, with a distinctive coloration: the upper part of the kernel is orange, while the lower part is yellow-orange. This feature gives the grain an attractive appearance and may influence its technological properties.

Hybrid J 2490 Z exhibits high resistance to stalk rot and ear fusarium, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss and enhancing its quality. The average yield of grain in the region is about 70 centners per hectare, with maximum yields reaching 108.9 centners per hectare. The moisture content of the grain at harvest averages 30.8%, requiring appropriate storage and processing conditions.

For successful cultivation of corn hybrid J 2490 Z, modern agronomic methods are recommended, including the use of herbicides to protect the crop from weeds. Herbicides may be either non-selective or selective, enabling effective control of weeds such as bindweed, dock, burdock, and crabgrass. These treatments can be applied either before or after sowing, depending on the crop's growth stage, ensuring optimal conditions for hybrid development and maximizing yield.
