AS 14220

Stable Yields in a Short Timeframe

Earliness is the key asset of the AC 14220 hybrid by Aspria Seeds. With a vegetation period of 74–79 days, this simple dent-type hybrid allows farmers to plan intensive crop rotation and avoid the risks associated with late autumn frosts. The originator, Ihor Ihorovych Kovsharov, has focused his breeding efforts on ensuring high adaptability under stressful conditions.

Phytosanitary Resilience

The primary advantage of AC 14220 is its comprehensive defense against pathogens. Producers often select this hybrid due to its strong tolerance to:

• Helminthosporiosis;
• Fusarium;
• Stalk smut;
• Common corn smut.

This resistance profile significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, which is critical for both grain and silage production. The plant possesses a robust immunity that minimizes yield losses even in seasons with high disease pressure.

Economic Viability

AC 14220 is positioned as a versatile solution. Thanks to its dent grain type, the hybrid delivers high output for grain production while maintaining excellent nutritional value when harvested as silage. This makes it an ideal choice for farms seeking a balance between rapid maturity and biomass quality. While the hybrid does not require unique environmental conditions, it performs best on fertile soil when optimal plant density is maintained.
