YIB 09796 C — a mid-season maize hybrid with FAO 340, intended for grain production in steppe and forest-steppe eastern regions. The plant features a compact form and optimal ear attachment, contributing to high resistance to lodging and facilitating harvest. The hybrid has a dent grain type and simple hybrid structure, ensuring product stability and quality.
The hybrid exhibits excellent drought tolerance and high water use efficiency, making it a reliable choice under limited moisture conditions. Grain yield potential ranges from 9.6 to 12.5 tons per hectare at the recommended planting density of 60-75 thousand plants per hectare, depending on growing conditions. Resistance to major diseases such as smut and helminthosporium is rated at 8 points on a 9-point scale, reducing the need for intensive plant protection.
The grain is bright yellow, with ear weight of 200-230 grams and length of 17-20 cm. Thanks to its excellent taste and quick cooking, this hybrid is suitable not only for grain production but also for consumption as boiled corn. YIB 09796 C demonstrates high adaptability to various agroclimatic conditions, ensuring stable and high yields with optimal care.
