A reliable grain hybrid with high resistance to root rot and smut diseases.
Description
Stable Yields in Temperate Climates
"Pirs MV" is the choice for agronomists who prioritize predictability and efficiency. Developed by the Plant Breeding and Genetics Institute (NCSS), this simple dent-type corn hybrid fits perfectly into intensive crop rotations, where combining early harvest with high grain yield is essential.
A Biological Shield Against Pathogens
A key characteristic of Pirs MV is its genetic resistance to a complex of diseases that annually impact crop profitability. The institute's breeding efforts have minimized the risks of stem and root rots, as well as smut infections. This allows farmers to save on fungicide treatments and maintain plant population density until harvest.
Agronomic Management and Performance
This hybrid demonstrates excellent performance when sowing density is maintained between 60,000 and 70,000 plants per hectare. With a maturity window of 105-115 days, it serves as a reliable solution for regions where clearing fields for winter crops on time is critical. The dent-type grain is known for good moisture release during maturation, which reduces post-harvest drying costs.
- Type: Simple hybrid.
- Purpose: Grain production.
- Adaptation: Ukraine.
- Resistance: Root rot, stem rot, and smut diseases.
Highly recommended for operations looking to reduce production costs while maintaining yield quality.
