Mikhail Nagornyak, the founder and head of "Mnagor", confirmed that the initiative to create such a hybrid came from Uzbek farmers. In Uzbekistan, there is a direct dependence of the price on the size of the cob: the longer and larger, the higher the cost of the product. This feature of consumer demand determines the priorities of local producers. "When grown in optimal conditions, using irrigation systems, the cobs of "Romeo" reach uniformity and a length of up to 33 centimeters," said Mr. Nagornyak. He also emphasized that in addition to the record length, the new hybrid is distinguished by a high sugar content and exceptional juiciness.The process of selecting a new hybrid takes from 7 to 10 years. During this period, breeders develop a prototype, select samples with the best taste qualities, form multi-row cobs and achieve the variety's resistance to drought conditions
It is worth noting that this summer, EastFruit experts analyzed the situation on the melon market in Uzbekistan. Due to low demand, some farmers were forced to leave the crop in the fields or use it as feed for livestock. At the end of the message, a certain accused person is mentioned who is in custody. However, the connection of this information with the news about the new corn variety is unclear and requires additional clarification. Perhaps this is a fragment from another material that accidentally got into the text.At the moment, the new hybrid "Romeo" is ready for delivery to Uzbek farmers. It is expected that it will take a worthy place in the local market and satisfy the need for corn with long cobs.
