ZUM 305 corn hybrid is a versatile, simple hybrid designed for high-quality grain and silage production. It is widely used in agriculture, especially for livestock feed, and shows optimal performance in Steppe and Forest-Steppe regions. The plant features vigorous growth with a well-developed leaf area and a pronounced stay-green effect, which is particularly important for silage production, as leaves and stalks remain green while the grain reaches harvest maturity.
ZUM 305 demonstrates high adaptability to various bioclimatic conditions, including tolerance to low spring temperatures, heat, and drought. The hybrid is well-suited to different cultivation technologies, including conventional and intensive methods, as well as minimal soil tillage. Plants reach a height of 240–280 cm, with an ear attachment height of 100–110 cm, and exhibit very high resistance to lodging. Yield potential exceeds 17 tons per hectare, achieved through elongated ears with a high number of kernels and high shelling rate.
Successful cultivation of this hybrid requires adequate soil moisture and application of plant protection products, particularly herbicides, which effectively control weeds during early vegetation. ZUM 305 also shows high resistance to fungal diseases, especially anthracnose. All these characteristics make ZUM 305 a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve stable and high yields of grain and silage under various conditions.
