Description
One of the key advantages of SY MINERVA is its high disease resistance, including root and stalk rots, as well as head smut. This reduces the need for intensive pesticide applications and lowers the risk of yield losses. The hybrid demonstrates stable performance under drought and moderate stress conditions, thanks to good cold tolerance, drought resistance, and the ability to quickly release moisture from kernels during ripening. These qualities make SY MINERVA a reliable choice for regions with unstable moisture levels.
Recommended cultivation practices include optimal early sowing at soil temperatures of +8...10°C at seed burial depth. Recommended planting density varies depending on moisture levels: 60-70 thousand plants per hectare under adequate moisture, 50-60 thousand under unstable conditions, and 40-50 thousand seeds per hectare under insufficient moisture. The package contains 80 thousand seeds, enabling efficient planning of sowing areas. Thanks to its agronomic characteristics and adaptability, SY MINERVA provides high yield potential and economic efficiency for farmers.
