ZEPHYR

The ZEPHYR corn hybrid is a high-yielding and stable seed material, adapted for cultivation in the Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones. It features a medium-late maturity period and dent kernel type. Thanks to its high energy demand during early growth and a strong Stay Green root system, the plant is resistant to lodging and demonstrates high adaptability, making it suitable for intensive cultivation technologies with maximum mineral fertilizer rates.

ZEPHYR exhibits high resistance to major corn diseases, including root and stalk rot, gray leaf spot, and gummy ear rot. The erect leaf arrangement enhances photosynthetic efficiency, which, combined with rapid water release from kernels during maturation, ensures a stable and high yield. The kernel contains an average protein content of 9.2% and starch of 72.4%, making the hybrid versatile for both grain and silage use.

The recommended planting density varies depending on moisture conditions: 50-60 thousand plants per hectare under adequate moisture, 45-55 thousand under unstable conditions, and 35-45 thousand under insufficient moisture. The hybrid is particularly well-suited for irrigation and repeated cultivation on the same field, making it an attractive choice for farmers seeking high productivity and crop stability under various climatic conditions.
