Zapovit 260

Consistent Yield for Universal Agricultural Use

Zapovit 260 is an outcome of the Selection and Genetic Institute (National Center for Seed Science and Cultivar Research), developed specifically to fit the intensive farming conditions found in Ukraine. This hybrid is recognized for its high adaptability, making it a reliable solution for producers prioritizing stability across diverse soil and climate environments.

Production Scenarios

This hybrid is engineered for dual-purpose use, performing equally well for grain production and silage harvesting. With a maturation period of 120–140 days, Zapovit 260 develops a substantial leaf-stalk mass, making it an excellent candidate for high-quality silage with significant dry matter content. For grain production, the hybrid is valued for its effective moisture release, which significantly lowers post-harvest drying costs.

Agronomic Recommendations

Maximizing the hybrid's genetic potential depends on precision in seeding density. Based on soil fertility and moisture availability, we recommend the following densities per hectare:

• 65,000–70,000 plants/ha: Optimal for arid regions or areas prone to moisture stress.
• 75,000–80,000 plants/ha: Recommended for fields with average agro-background levels.
• 80,000–85,000 plants/ha: Targeted density for irrigated fields or regions with high rainfall, allowing the hybrid to perform at its peak.

As a simple hybrid, Zapovit 260 ensures uniform crop development, which optimizes harvesting machinery settings and improves overall field efficiency. It is a robust choice for operations seeking proven domestic genetics that combine high productivity with resistance to environmental stressors.
