The Rizzo corn hybrid is a mid-season trihybrid variety primarily intended for silage use, but also registered in the State Register for the Central Chernozem region for grain production. Plants reach a height of 290-310 cm, exhibit high drought and stress resistance, ensuring stable performance under various climatic conditions. The kernel type is dent with yellow-orange coloration, and the medium flowering period promotes optimal crop development and maturity. Yield potential reaches 13 tons per hectare, with an average grain yield in the region of about 81.6 c/ha, exceeding standard benchmarks by 9.8%. The plant features straight, broad leaves and medium ear density with anthocyanin coloration varying from weak to moderate, indicating good adaptation to local conditions. The ear is long and thick with a small number of rows of kernels, ensuring high quality and uniformity of the product. The vegetation period is approximately 116 days, corresponding to mid-season maturity. The hybrid demonstrates moderate resistance to stalk rot and mild infection by Fusarium and ear mold, reducing yield losses and enhancing product quality. Rizzo is distinguished by its high remontancy and adaptability, making it suitable for cultivation across various soil-climatic zones of the Central Chernozem region. High disease and stress resistance, along with stable yields, make this hybrid an attractive choice for farmers focused on producing high-quality silage and grain. Thanks to its characteristics, Rizzo delivers reliable and efficient results in corn cultivation.
