Sweet Corn DACHNAYA 1

Technical Specifications of Sweet Corn «Dachnaya 1»

The «Dachnaya 1» cultivar, developed by Fgbun Hfits Dvo Ran, is a specialized sweet corn hybrid designed to achieve high commercial quality under temperate climate conditions. The key feature defining its application is the SH2 (super sweet) endosperm type. This genetic trait allows for a significantly higher sugar accumulation rate compared to standard varieties, which is essential for both the fresh market and professional processing.

Morphology and Growth Cycle

The plant reaches a height of 180-190 cm, which is an optimal parameter for ensuring balanced photosynthesis at a planting density of 60,000-65,000 plants/ha. This density allows for efficient distribution of nutrients throughout the crop. With a maturation period of 70-75 days, the hybrid is classified as mid-early, providing farmers with flexibility in planning planting and harvest schedules based on market demand.

Ear Potential and Structure

The core commercial component is the ear. «Dachnaya 1» demonstrates stable lengths ranging from 20 to 22 cm. A significant breeding achievement is the high grain density: 14-18 rows per ear, which ensures a high yield of finished product during canning or freezing processes. The high row count directly impacts the organoleptic properties, resulting in heavy, tightly packed ears that meet strict retail standards.

• The SH2 endosperm type ensures high sugar retention even after storage.
• Versatility: ideal for fresh cooking, industrial canning, and processing.
• Stable performance parameters when maintaining the recommended sowing density of 60-65 thousand plants/ha.
