DMC Saffron

DMC Saffron is a medium-maturing, simple hybrid of sweet corn, Ukrainian selection, intended for grain production. The hybrid is characterized by high yield potential up to 15 tons per hectare, making it an attractive choice for farmers working in the Forest-Steppe and Polissia regions of Ukraine. Plants reach a height of about 190 cm, and ears are attached at approximately 75 cm, facilitating harvesting and effective yield formation. Kernels have a toothed shape and dark yellow color, indicating high product quality. One of the key advantages of DMC Saffron is its high resistance to adverse environmental conditions. The hybrid has an 8 rating for drought and cold resistance, ensuring stable growth and productivity even under water deficiency and low temperatures. Moreover, the plant demonstrates high resistance to major corn diseases, such as blister and smut, as well as pests, including corn borer. These features make DMC Saffron a reliable choice for intensive cultivation technologies and minimize the risk of yield losses. To achieve maximum productivity, it is recommended to follow optimal planting density, which varies by region: 80-90 thousand plants per hectare for Polissia, 70-80 thousand for Forest-Steppe, and 55-60 thousand for Steppe. The hybrid adapts well to various soil-climatic conditions, ensuring rapid start and active growth in early development stages. Thanks to these qualities, DMC Saffron is an effective and reliable solution for farmers aiming to obtain high and stable yields of sweet corn.
