AFK Grouz

Focusing on Grain Productivity

The «AFK Growz» hybrid from the «AF Kolos» brand is designed for farmers aiming to maximize commercial grain yields. This simple maize hybrid, developed in Russia, belongs to the medium-late maturity group, which sets specific requirements for its cultivation geography.

Key Vegetation Characteristics

The maturity period ranges from 120 to 140 days. The FAO 90–1240 rating indicates that «AFK Growz» reaches its full genetic potential in regions with long summers and an adequate sum of active temperatures. The hybrid’s primary advantages include:

• High yield potential within the grain production segment.
• Simple hybrid structure, ensuring crop uniformity and predictable plant development.
• Stable ear formation and strong resistance to lodging.

Who is this hybrid for?

The target audience for «AFK Growz» consists of agricultural operations in southern regions with favorable climatic conditions where the vegetation period allows the corn to reach full physiological maturity. Unlike early-ripening counterparts, this hybrid is not designed to avoid early autumn frosts; its main strength lies in its ability to efficiently transform solar energy into grain mass over a long, warm season. Under intensive cultivation practices, the crop demonstrates excellent dry-down rates at harvest time, reducing post-harvest drying costs.
