Variety traits
Zea mays L. subsp. mays (Popcorn Group)
The yield of popcorn is measured in t/ha or dt/ha and is inextricably linked to the kernel expansion volume. Productivity levels vary from 2.2 to 8 t/ha depending on cultivation conditions, moisture availability, and technological maturity.
In the reference 24 varieties crop Popcorn, where this is mentioned in the description.
For this crop, the quantitative yield indicator is considered in close connection with the technological quality of the grain. Under production conditions, the average yield is 35–40 dt/ha; however, under favorable conditions and with irrigation, the potential can reach 8 t/ha. A decrease in figures below the 2.2–2.9 t/ha level is often caused by a failure to follow crop rotation and a lack of proper preceding crops.
The main specific feature is the dependence of commercial quality on the timing and conditions of harvest. Incomplete ripening or violation of the moisture regime leads to a sharp decrease in the kernel expansion volume coefficient upon heating, which makes the product unsuitable for food purposes. The crop is extremely demanding in terms of water supply during the active vegetation phase, which makes irrigation a key factor in realizing productivity potential.
