FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What does high plasticity mean for DMS Kortes?
Plasticity refers to the hybrid’s ability to adjust to diverse growing conditions—including varying soil types, temperature fluctuations, and rainfall levels—without critical yield loss. DMS Kortes forgives minor agronomic errors and weather stresses, making it a reliable choice for field planning.
When can planting for DMS Kortes begin?
Thanks to its strong cold tolerance, sowing can commence once the soil reaches 9–10°C at seed depth. It features outstanding early-stage growth vigor.
Which growing regions are best suited for DMS Kortes?
It is a universal hybrid. It demonstrates top performance in areas with adequate moisture (Polesie, Forest-Steppe) while maintaining profitable yield levels in arid Steppe conditions (e.g., Mykolaiv or Kirovohrad regions).
