Exelent F1

Reliable Yields of Super Sweet Corn

The Excellent F1 hybrid from the American breeding company Lark Seeds International is a strategic choice for growers targeting the fresh market. Thanks to its SH2 endosperm type, the kernels offer exceptional eating quality and maintain their sweetness even after long-distance transportation.

Agronomic Features and Protection

The plants reach a height of 210–220 cm, with the first ear set at a height of 70–80 cm, which is convenient for mechanized harvesting. This significantly simplifies industrial production processes. A key advantage of this hybrid is its genetic resistance to a complex of common diseases:

• Verticillium wilt;
• Tobacco mosaic virus;
• Fusarium wilt.

This natural immunity helps reduce the need for fungicide treatments, making production economics more transparent and predictable.

Cultivation and Harvesting Practices

Excellent F1 features a growing cycle of 75–80 days, allowing for efficient conveyor-belt production planning. The ears, measuring 22–25 cm with a tight configuration of 16–18 rows of kernels, exhibit excellent marketability. In field conditions, the hybrid shows strong adaptability to various soil types, provided that irrigation requirements are met—which is critical for SH2 varieties. Farmers choose this hybrid to fill the mid-season niche, where consistent, high-quality grain production is required while minimizing pathogen-related risks.
