‘KM1’, a corn hybrid was developed for seed export to Southeast Asia by the maize breeding team of the National Institute of Crop Science (NICS), RDA in 2016. The hybrid ‘KM1’ was obtained by crossing two inbred lines, ‘KS155’ and ‘15VL060’. After yield trials at Dong Trieu, Vietnam for one year, country adaptability trials were subsequently carried out in three countries (Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia) in 2016. ‘KM1’ is a white-yellow and dent-like corn, and the plant adapts to the northern part of Vietnam and northwestern part of Cambodia; and the corn can be used as food and feed. The plant is fast flowering and has strong lodging tolerance and resistance to southern leaf blight and downy mildew. Silking date of ‘KM1’ is 5 days earlier than that of Vietnam’s leading cultivar ‘LVN10’. The grain yield of ‘KM1’ is 879 kg/10a in Vietnam, which is 22% higher than that of LVN10, and 914 kg/10a in Cambodia, which is 5% higher than that of Cambodia’s leading cultivar ‘CP888’. This hybrid requires the implementation of disease control measures because it is susceptible to corn rust. (Registration No. 7507).
