Description
Engineering for Yield: The 'DN Atlant' Maize Hybrid
Developed by the Institute of Grain Crops of NAAS, this simple hybrid is designed for stable grain production. In intensive farming, genetic resistance to pathogens that impair nutrient transport—specifically head smut and common smut—is a critical performance node. By maintaining vascular integrity, the hybrid ensures consistent dry matter accumulation right through the grain-filling stage.
Morphological Architecture and FAO
The dent-type grain structure, aligned with an FAO 1240 rating, allows the plant to maximize starch accumulation over the growing cycle. Unlike flint-type hybrids, the 'DN Atlant' dent grain provides an optimal endosperm-to-pericarp ratio, which is essential for achieving high grain density and superior processing quality.
Biological Defense Mechanisms
The genotype features built-in resistance to the European corn borer, reducing stem damage and ensuring standability until harvest. This structural integrity minimizes entry points for secondary infections. When combined with its inherent resistance to smut diseases, this genetic profile creates a robust defense system that safeguards the harvest from both biotic and mechanical yield losses.
- Hybrid type: Simple cross, ensuring superior field uniformity.
- Primary use: Grain production with efficient dry-down characteristics.
- Originator: Institute of Grain Crops of NAAS (Ukraine).

Corn hybrids are classified by maturity groups and by the FAO number. All corn hybrids are distributed according to the FAO scale. Under Central European conditions, a difference of 10 FAO units between hybrids results in a 1-2 day difference in their maturity. The higher the FAO... |

Dual-purpose hybrids: for silage and grain in all growing regions. These are "stay-green" type hybrids, meaning the plants remain green for a longer period. However, this does not affect the sugar, cellulose, and hemicellulose content, nor the degree of lignification of the plant... |
