The productivity potential of the hybrid reaches 130 centners per hectare, indicating its high yield even under extensive cultivation technologies.
Sweet corn NIKA 252 is widely used not only as a food crop for obtaining delicacies but also as a curtain crop that slows down air movement in the vegetable growth zone, contributing to increased yield of neighboring plants, such as cucumbers. For successful cultivation, it is recommended to use fertile soils with a neutral reaction. Before sowing, peat-manure compost and complex fertilizers are added to the soil, and hillside formation is conducted to form adventitious roots, which improves plant nutrition. During the tassel emergence phase, chelate iron supplementation is beneficial to prevent deficiency of this microelement.
