Sweet corn ZP 278 is a high-yielding mid-early hybrid with FAO 280, developed for grain production. This hybrid features a starchy kernel type, medium row numbers from 16 to 18, and 32-34 kernels per row. Plant height is approximately 8 cm, and 1000-kernel weight varies from 300 to 340 grams. Yield potential reaches 12-13 tons per hectare, making ZP 278 an attractive choice for farmers aiming for high productivity.

One of the key advantages of ZP 278 is its high drought resistance, ensuring stable yields even under water deficit. The hybrid is also frost-tolerant, contributing to better survival in adverse climatic conditions. A robust root system provides resistance to lodging and optimal plant nutrition, while excellent early growth allows corn to develop rapidly even in challenging conditions.

Additionally, ZP 278 exhibits high resistance to diseases and stress factors, with resistance ratings for lodging and major diseases at level 8. Recommended growing zones include Polissia, Forest Steppe, and Steppe of Ukraine, confirming the hybrid’s versatility and adaptability to various climatic conditions.
