DKC 5741

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A late-ripening, simple hybrid of corn for universal use, designed for grain and silage production. It is characterized by a powerful root system, high plasticity and stable productivity in various soil and climatic conditions.

The hybrid forms large ears with good grain quality, has high drought tolerance and resistance to major diseases. Due to the Stay Green effect, plants retain their green mass before harvesting, which makes the hybrid particularly effective when grown for silage.
