A perfectly balanced hybrid for freezing, canning, and fresh sales, offering excellent flavor and consistent processing quality.
Description
Prioritizing Sweetness and Processing Efficiency
The «A 679 UM» hybrid from the P.P. Lukyanenko National Grain Center is a specialized solution for those serving the processing and fresh produce markets. Unlike standard field corn hybrids, this variety is focused on high organoleptic performance, making it a standout choice for boiled corn, frozen produce, and industrial canning sectors.
Core Technical Specifications
The primary advantage of this hybrid is its rapid vegetation cycle. With a maturity period of 75–80 days, it falls into the early-maturing group, enabling farmers to coordinate steady supply chains for processors or retail markets. The FAO rating ranging from 90 to 1240 underscores its ability to mature effectively across various climatic zones, successfully bypassing peak drought periods.
- Grain Quality: The intermediate grain type provides an ideal balance between density and tenderness, a crucial requirement for the canning industry.
- Visual Appeal: The bright yellow-orange color remains stable after heat treatment, ensuring high marketability on retail shelves.
- Primary Use: The balance of sugars and texture positions «A 679 UM» as a top-tier performer for industrial freezing and canning.
Is A 679 UM Right for You?
This hybrid is not designed for dry grain or animal feed; it is tailored specifically for high-quality food production. It is an optimal investment for agribusinesses focusing on vegetable cultivation. The predictability of its ripening and consistency in grain composition allow factory technologists to significantly minimize waste during processing and handling.
The main limitation of this hybrid is its narrow specialization. It is not recommended for silage or forage production. However, within the specific segment of food-grade corn, it remains one of the most well-balanced and reliable products available for commercial growers.
