Anatoliyevsky 246 MV

Genetic Protection and Yield Potential of the 'Anatolievskiy 246 MV' Hybrid

The breeding program by 'Rasava' for the 'Anatolievskiy 246 MV' simple maize hybrid is designed to withstand the rigorous conditions of field production. With an FAO rating of 240, this hybrid occupies the mid-early maturity segment, allowing agronomists to optimize harvest timing and reduce grain drying costs.

Phytosanitary Profile and Resistance

The primary advantage of this hybrid is its pronounced immune resistance to pathogens that limit crop productivity. The genetic architecture of 'Anatolievskiy 246 MV' incorporates specific defensive mechanisms:

• Resistance to Smut Diseases: High resistance to common and head smut minimizes the risks of ear loss under stressful weather conditions.
• Anti-Fusarium Barrier: Selective breeding has minimized Fusarium infection, which is critical for obtaining high-quality grain suitable for processing and long-term storage.
• Pest Protection: Phenotypic resistance to the European corn borer reduces the need for additional insecticide treatments, preserving stem integrity and preventing crop lodging.

Agronomic Characteristics and Application

The simple hybrid structure ensures excellent uniformity of the crop, simplifying mechanized harvesting. The main application is grain production. Thanks to the optimal FAO of 240, the crop effectively utilizes the vegetation period, forming a high weight of 1000 grains and providing stable moisture release during ripening. In Ukrainian conditions, the hybrid demonstrates plasticity across various soil types while maintaining a stable yield potential under both intensive and moderate cultivation technologies.
