YAROVETS 243 MV

Stability and plasticity in the mid-early maize segment

Yarovets 243 MV is a prime example of a hybrid developed for farmers who prioritize predictable yields. The breeding process is based on a collaboration between the Russian production complex 'Elita' (Shebekinsky district) and the scientific expertise of the Institute of Grain Crops (NAAS). This partnership has resulted in a hybrid adapted to conditions with significant temperature fluctuations, making it highly demanded for farms operating in areas with unstable moisture levels.

Agronomic profile and grain potential

The primary focus of Yarovets 243 MV is the production of high-quality grain. The dent-type kernel exhibits excellent moisture loss properties during ripening, which significantly reduces energy costs for post-harvest processing. The mid-early vegetation period allows for harvesting within optimal agrotechnical windows, avoiding the risks of late autumn rains.

• Seeding density: ranges from 50,000–55,000 plants per hectare (in conditions of low moisture) to 80,000–85,000 plants/ha (on irrigated or highly fertile soils).
• Adaptability: high resistance to lodging and stress factors characteristic of intensive farming.
• Purpose: production of commercial grain with high test weight indicators.

A key strength of this hybrid is its genetic 'flexibility.' Unlike narrow-specialized varieties that require ideal conditions, this hybrid is forgiving of minor technological errors, ensuring stable product output. It is ideally suited for farms seeking to balance seed investment costs with final crop profitability. When observing planting densities tailored to specific regions, Yarovets 243 MV demonstrates high potential for tillering and ear productivity.
