About product
The NK Lucius corn hybrid is a mid-season, high-yielding grain-type hybrid with FAO 340, developed by the seed company Syngenta. It is characterized by high yield potential, reaching 14–15 tons of grain and 7–8 tons of silage per hectare. The grain is dent-type with starch content of 72–74%, ensuring high energy value. The hybrid has 14–18 rows per ear and exhibits high moisture shedding during ma…

Description
The NK Lucius corn hybrid is a mid-season, high-yielding grain-type hybrid with FAO 340, developed by the seed company Syngenta. It is characterized by high yield potential, reaching 14–15 tons of grain and 7–8 tons of silage per hectare. The grain is dent-type with starch content of 72–74%, ensuring high energy value. The hybrid has 14–18 rows per ear and exhibits high moisture shedding during maturity, facilitating harvest and reducing yield losses.
NK Lucius demonstrates high resistance to adverse conditions, including drought tolerance (9 out of 10), cold tolerance (8 out of 10), and lodging resistance (10 out of 10). It also shows tolerance to diseases such as helmintosporiosis, powdery mildew, root and stalk rot, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in areas with unstable moisture. The hybrid shows moderate growth rates early in vegetation, but maximizes its potential under high agronomic input and irrigation.
The recommended planting density for NK Lucius varies by region: in forest-steppe zones, 60–75 thousand plants per hectare is optimal, while in northern steppe zones — 45–55 thousand. Thanks to its combination of high yield potential, stress resistance, and adaptability to intensive cultivation technologies, this hybrid is an excellent choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality grain corn harvest.

Corn hybrids are classified by maturity groups and by the FAO number. All corn hybrids are distributed according to the FAO scale. Under Central European conditions, a difference of 10 FAO units between hybrids results in a 1-2 day difference in their maturity. The higher the FAO... |
