IR 301

Optimized performance for reliable cultivation

The IR 301 maize hybrid, developed by Ooo Niir Iragro (originator: Dmitry Dzgoev), is a product of focused breeding designed to deliver consistent results under variable agricultural conditions. As a modified single-cross hybrid, it bridges the gap between classic genetic reliability and the modern demand for high performance.

Agronomic profile and durability

With a maturity rating of FAO 90–1240, IR 301 falls into the early-to-mid maturity segment, ensuring reliable harvest schedules even in shorter growing seasons. Its yellow dent grain type is characterized by excellent starch accumulation, making it a versatile asset for three primary channels: grain production, high-quality silage, and industrial starch extraction.

Breeders have integrated specific protective traits into the hybrid’s core:

• Enhanced tolerance against common smut (boil smut), protecting plant integrity.
• Inherent resistance strategies against stem smut of onions (as part of comprehensive crop management).
• Genetic resistance against the European corn borer, effectively reducing the need for intensive insecticide applications.

Market positioning and usage

IR 301 from Ooo Niir Iragro is aimed at producers seeking a balance between high intensity and crop safety. Due to its physiological plasticity, the hybrid minimizes harvest risks caused by unpredictable weather patterns. Whether utilized for grain sales or to build a robust feed base for livestock complexes, IR 301 provides the required starch levels and biomass durability expected of a top-tier hybrid.
