Variety traits
Zea mays L.
The 1000-kernel weight of maize is a quantitative measure of grain filling used to calculate seeding rates and estimate the biological potential of the future yield.
In the reference 566 varieties crop Maize, where this is mentioned in the description.
The value of this parameter in maize is determined by the genetic characteristics of the hybrid and growing conditions. Depending on maturity group, average values range from 250–300 g for early-maturing, 300–350 g for mid-maturing, and 350–400 g for late-maturing hybrids, although overall fluctuations can vary from 190 to 370 g.
Heavier maize seeds possess an increased nutrient reserve, which contributes to better germination energy, the development of a vigorous root system, and seedling survival. This parameter allows for shifting from weight-based to count-based calculations of sowing density, ensuring optimal plant population per hectare.
