Description
Genetic Potential and Adaptability of the 87 DIA 4 Hybrid
This corn hybrid from Monsanto represents a prime example of breeding focused on maximum versatility. The technical value of 87 DIA 4 lies in its genetic profile, combining early maturity traits with high biological plasticity. In variable climatic conditions, the key factor for success is the speed of vegetative phases, allowing efficient use of short daylight hours and accumulated thermal resources.
Grain Morphology and Processing Efficiency
The flint-dent grain type is a balanced engineering solution for farmers. This structure ensures excellent moisture release during maturation—critical for minimizing drying costs—while maintaining the high density required for industrial processing or high-quality silage. The yellow pigment indicates a high carotenoid content, increasing the crop's energy value for livestock feed.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for grain, silage, canning, and fresh consumption, making the hybrid a flexible asset for any farm.
- Agrotechnical Stability: Monsanto has engineered this hybrid with resilience against typical environmental stress factors.
- Silage Quality: An optimal balance of biomass and generative organs ensures high nutritional value for silage production.
Field experience with 87 DIA 4 shows that the hybrid reaches its full potential when crop rotation and optimal planting dates are respected. Early maturity helps avoid autumn frosts and reduces pest pressure, resulting in an economically predictable crop yield.

Kernel Type
Dent corn (Zea mays indentata) — Large, elongated, flat kernels. The endosperm is horny on the sides of the kernel, mealy in the center and at the top. A depression forms at the top of the kernel upon ripening. Dent corn is the most widely cultivated group among others. Plants ty... |
