Corn hybrid J 2801 Z belongs to the mid-early maturity group with FAO index 280, ensuring an optimal vegetation period of about 115-118 days. This hybrid is characterized by high drought and cold resistance, allowing sowing at soil temperatures from +8°C and successful cultivation under various climatic conditions, including the forest-steppe, steppe, and meadow regions. High adaptability and compensatory ability make the yield more stable even under adverse weather conditions.
Plants reach a stem height of 230-240 cm, with ear attachment height of 100-110 cm. The ear contains 14-16 rows of kernels, each with 28-30 dent kernels with high starch content. The 1000-kernel weight varies from 280 to 300 grams, indicating high yield potential of the hybrid. A strong and branched root system contributes to better water uptake and increases plant resilience under stress conditions.
The hybrid is resistant to some broad-spectrum herbicides and has a good disease resistance profile, including resistance to Fusarium and striped smut. Due to its rapid water release, the harvest can be collected with minimal moisture content, reducing drying costs. These qualities make hybrid J 2801 Z suitable for use in bioethanol, biogas, and silage production, ensuring high efficiency and reliability of cultivation.
