DKC3717

The DKC 3717 corn hybrid is a stable and high-yielding variety with FAO 280, developed by Monsanto. Plants reach a height of 250–270 cm and feature prominently erect leaf arrangement, which promotes efficient photosynthesis and resistance to lodging. The ear is attached at a height of 100–110 cm, with dent-type kernels. This hybrid exhibits high initial growth energy, ensuring rapid plant development and good weed competition. DKC 3717 has high resistance to diseases and adverse climatic conditions, making it a low-maintenance and reliable choice for various growing zones. The hybrid is suitable for cultivation both in monoculture and under conventional or minimum tillage systems. To achieve maximum yield, it is essential to observe optimal harvest timing and maintain the recommended planting density: 55–60 thousand plants per hectare in dry zones and 70–80 thousand plants per hectare in well-watered zones. Key advantages of DKC 3717 include high yield potential, rapid water release, vigorous growth type, and resistance to diseases and lodging. These characteristics make the hybrid attractive to farmers seeking a stable and high-quality corn crop under various agro-climatic conditions.
