Corn NK Nekta from Syngenta is a medium-early hybrid intended for cultivation in field and forest-steppe conditions. Seeds are packaged in 80,000 units, with a FAO number of 240, indicating a medium-early maturity period. The kernels have a cream-toothed type with a warm yellow hue, ensuring high-quality raw material for various purposes, including grain and silage production. The plant features a robust root system, excellent stem leafing, and uniform medium-sized ears, contributing to stable and high yields. The NK Nekta hybrid exhibits high resistance to diseases such as rust and powdery mildew, as well as lodging. It demonstrates rapid early growth and good stress tolerance, including cold and drought resistance. At maturity, the grain quickly sheds moisture, facilitating harvest and enhancing grain quality. It is recommended to follow the traditional herbicide protection system, avoiding high rates of sulfonylurea herbicides to maintain plant health and maximize productivity. NK Nekta has a high starch content — up to 76% — making it particularly valuable for alcohol production, with an alcohol yield reaching 40% from 100 kg of dry grain. The hybrid performs best under balanced mineral nutrition, optimal irrigation, and early planting dates. The optimal plant density ranges from 60,000 to 90,000 plants per hectare, enabling maximum yield potential. Due to its characteristics, NK Nekta is suitable for both silage and grain use, ensuring high productivity and product quality.
