DEKALB®8282S VTDoublePRO RIB Complete Corn (DK 8282S): Yield, Maturity and Characteristics
DEKALB®8282S VTDoublePRO RIB Complete corn is a yellow GM hybrid corn variety, also sold or known as DK 8282S or Dekalb 8282S. It was registered with the National Seed Industry Council in 2021 as NSIC 2021 GMCn 75. Bayer Crop Science bred it. It takes 105 to 108 days from planting to the harvest of dry grain, with 9.11 tonnes per hectare on average in the trials.
The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.
What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.
So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.

How long does it take, and how much does it yield?
DEKALB®8282S VTDoublePRO RIB Complete corn takes 105 to 108 days from planting to the harvest of dry grain. That is about the average of the 89 yellow GM hybrid corn varieties with a day count, 105.4 days. A shorter crop frees the field sooner and dodges more of the weather, while a longer one often fills more.
Its average yield of 9.11 t/ha beats the average of its group, 8.13. It sits in the top quarter of its group. One tonne of shelled corn fills about 20 sacks of 50 kilograms. Trial yields come from well managed plots, so your own will depend on water, fertilizer, pests and timing. Its seller gives about 110 days.

Is it resistant to pests and diseases?
| Pest or disease | Rating | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Corn borer | Resistant | Held up well |
It showed no weak spot in the ratings on record. Still, a resistant variety can break down when a new strain or pest population comes, so keep scouting. Read up on Asian corn borer.

What the grain is like
Its ears grew about 16.33 cm long in the trials. The shelling recovery was 80.61 percent, the share of the ear weight that comes off as grain. A higher share means more grain from every sack of ears.
What its seller and farm sources say
- Yield: No ceiling given: Bayer claims 1.7 t/ha more than market standard hybrids, shelling recovery 84 percent.
- Traits in the seed: VT Double PRO RIB Complete (Bayer's trait code VT2PRIB): two Bt proteins with different modes of action against Asian corn borer, fall armyworm, corn earworm and common cutworm, its registered events are MON 89034 x NK603, so the plant also tolerates glyphosate (Roundup). The bag holds 95 percent traited seed and 5 percent refuge seed already mixed, so no separate refuge block has to be planted.
- Season: Wet and dry.
- Where: Luzon and Visayas (Bayer's recommended area).
- Stand: 83,000 to 90,000 plants per ha, furrows 60 cm, hills 18 or 20 cm.

- Semi erect plant, ears set at medium height.
- Good standability.
- Good tolerance to stalk rots and to leaf diseases.

Where and when to plant DEKALB®8282S VTDoublePRO RIB Complete corn
It is recommended for Luzon and Mindanao. Start with the color your buyer pays for: yellow corn goes to feed mills, while white and glutinous corn go to the table. Next, pick between a hybrid, which yields more but needs new seed every season, and an open pollinated variety, whose seed you can save. Then match the island group in its recommendation, because trials in Luzon and Mindanao give different winners. Before planting, get the field ready with our guide: Land preparation for corn.
