These qualities make the hybrid a reliable choice for various agroclimatic conditions. Potential grain yield is 130-135 c/ha (13-13.5 t/ha), and silage yield reaches 600-650 c/ha (60-65 t/ha). Recommended planting density varies by region: for Forest-Steppe — 60-65 thousand plants per hectare, for Steppe — 50-55 thousand, for Polissia — 65-70 thousand plants at harvest time. Due to its agronomic characteristics and high adaptability, hybrid Solonyansky 298 SV is a national standard in Ukraine's variety trials and suitable for both grain and silage uses.
