Amigo is a corn hybrid with a FAO index of 300–320, designed for cultivation in various climatic zones. It belongs to medium-maturing varieties with a vegetative period of 115–120 days and boasts a high yield potential of up to 150 c/ha. The hybrid is characterized by plasticity, allowing it to successfully adapt to different growing conditions while maintaining stress resistance and high yield indicators. Plants reach a height of 250–270 cm, featuring a cylindrical cob about 28 cm long with yellow dent corn kernels arranged in 14–16 rows of 37–39 grains each. Cobs are attached at a height of 105–120 cm, and the stem is sturdy with a well-developed root system, ensuring resistance to lodging and diseases, including fusarium. Amigo demonstrates high resistance to adverse factors such as a cold spring, heat, and drought, making it suitable for cultivation even in steppe regions. For optimal development, a certain sowing density is recommended: in the Polesye region — 70–75 thousand plants per hectare, in the forest-steppe zone — 60–70 thousand, and in steppe regions — 45–55 thousand plants per hectare. The hybrid responds well to modern agrotechnological methods, contributing to a stable and high-quality harvest. Additionally, under the name Amigo, there exists a sorghum variety used primarily as a silage crop. This mid-early variety is distinguished by high vegetative growth — plant height exceeds 450 cm, and the panicle is loose. The variety is tannin-free, which improves silage quality. It is characterized by high disease and drought resistance, stem strength, and high protein content. The recommended sowing density varies depending on regional moisture levels: from 140–160 thousand plants per hectare in arid zones to 190–220 thousand in areas with sufficient moisture. This approach ensures maximum productivity and fodder base quality.
