Maize ZPTK 111

ZPTK 111 is a medium-early, two-line hybrid maize (Zea mays L.) intended for grain production. The plant exhibits medium to high growth and medium leaf size, with moderate intensity anthocyanic coloration of the first leaf sheath. The 1000-grain weight is 340-360 grams, indicating a large-grain hybrid. The hybrid adapts well to seasonal stress conditions, demonstrating high stress tolerance and resistance to pests and diseases, including light infection by bollworms and moderate resistance to stalk rot. ZPTK 111 is recommended for cultivation in various regions, including the Central Chernozem, Lower Volga, Central, and Ural regions. The hybrid is suitable for various soil tillage technologies, such as conventional, minimum, strip-till, No-Till, and also for irrigated lands. Optimal planting density at harvest depends on growing conditions: in favorable conditions, 75-80 thousand plants per hectare are recommended, in drought-prone areas — 55-60 thousand. Average grain yield in the Central Chernozem region reaches 90.7 c/ha, in the Lower Volga region — 73.2 c/ha. The hybrid ZPTK 111 is versatile and suitable for planting on various soil types, making it attractive to a wide range of agricultural producers. High yield combined with resistance to adverse factors and diseases ensures a stable and high-quality harvest. Due to these characteristics, ZPTK 111 is a reliable choice for efficient maize grain production.
