SUM 1088

German Breeding for Efficient Grain Production

The СУМ 1088 maize hybrid from the German selection leader Saaten-Union is the result of long-term development by a team of breeders led by Dr. K.L. Nau, Dr. P.G. Goertz, and Dr. F.K. Roeber. This hybrid was developed with a primary focus on productivity in grain cultivation, making it a strategic asset for operations oriented toward commercial yield.

Agronomic Profile and Maturity Rates

A key feature of СУМ 1088 is its flexibility regarding maturity. The hybrid displays a vegetation period ranging from 90 to 110 days, allowing it to be adapted to various climatic zones and sowing windows. Leveraging German genetics, the plant efficiently utilizes soil potential and accumulated active temperature, ensuring rapid moisture loss from the grain by harvest time—a critical factor for reducing post-harvest drying costs.

Why Producers Choose СУМ 1088

• Technological Advantage: Proprietary breeding ensures crop uniformity and lodging resistance, facilitating mechanical harvesting.
• Specialized Use: Designed exclusively for grain production, the hybrid allows for a focus on maximum dry matter output per hectare.
• Brand Reliability: Saaten-Union has maintained its status as a leader in the European seed market for decades, offering solutions tested in the most demanding conditions of Central and Eastern Europe.

СУМ 1088 is the choice for those seeking a balance between early maturity and consistently high yield. Its potential is fully realized in intensive cultivation systems, providing farmers with predictable results from sowing to storage.
