Seeds DCK80-83 Hybrid Maize Seed – Early Maturing, Drought-Tolerant, High-Yielding

Boost your maize production with DCK80-83 Hybrid Maize Seed. This early-maturing, drought-tolerant variety offers high yields of up to 36 bags per acre. Designed for Kenyan agro-ecological zones, it exhibits strong resistance to common maize diseases and supports double cobbing under optimal conditions.

The DCK80-83 Hybrid Maize Seed is an early-maturing, drought-tolerant variety developed to meet the needs of Kenyan farmers across diverse agro-ecological zones. With a maturity period of approximately 100 to 150 days, this hybrid allows for timely harvests and the possibility of multiple cropping cycles within a season.

Key Agronomic Features:

• High Yield Potential: Under optimal agronomic practices, DCK80-83 can achieve yields of 34–36 bags per acre (approximately 7–9 tons per hectare), ensuring food security and profitability for farmers.
• Disease Resistance: Exhibits strong tolerance to prevalent maize diseases, including Grey Leaf Spot (GLS), Maize Streak Virus (MSV), leaf rust, and cob rot, reducing dependency on chemical controls.
• Drought Tolerance: Demonstrates resilience under water-limited conditions, making it suitable for semi-arid regions and contributing to stable yields despite climatic variability.
• Morphological Characteristics: Features strong stem standability, reducing lodging risks, and mature ears that droop, minimizing moisture retention and post-harvest losses.
• Prolificacy: Capable of double cobbing under favorable conditions, enhancing overall yield per plant.
