Corn hybrid P99474 belongs to late-maturing varieties with FAO around 400 and is characterized by dent kernel type. This tall plant has optimal ear attachment, ensuring good resistance to lodging of stems and roots. The hybrid is suitable for irrigation and demonstrates high disease resistance, including stalk diseases, due to additional seed treatment with protectants, which is especially important when grown in monoculture.
P99474 stands out for excellent water use efficiency and high drought tolerance, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions. It is recommended to plant the hybrid at optimal times, avoiding early and late sowing, as well as late harvest. Planting density varies depending on soil moisture: under sufficient moisture, the optimal density is 60-65 thousand plants per hectare, while under insufficient moisture, it is 55-60 thousand.
The hybrid is intended for grain and ethanol production. It is well-suited for cultivation with minimal soil tillage and demonstrates very good suitability for monoculture. To achieve maximum yield, it is recommended to follow agronomic recommendations, including the application of post-emergence herbicides according to crop development stages and cultivation on a good agro-ecosystem.
