ZPK 360

Professional silage production with ZPSK 360

Serbian corn breeding from the Zemun Polje Institute is recognized globally for its robustness and reliability in diverse farming conditions. The ZPSK 360 hybrid is designed specifically for producers who prioritize high-quality forage and silage production. With a dent grain type and a growth cycle of 110–120 days, it allows for precise harvest planning, minimizing moisture risks and ensuring high nutritional value of the final feed.

Genetic health and disease resistance

One of the main operational advantages of ZPSK 360 is its inherited resistance to key pathogens. The hybrid demonstrates strong tolerance to common corn smut, head smut, onion stalk smut, and helminthosporium. For an agronomic team, this translates into fewer fungicide applications, lower production costs, and higher stability in crop health, even in years with unfavorable weather patterns.

Practical cultivation insights

• Primary Use: This hybrid is engineered for fodder purposes. Its ability to accumulate substantial biomass makes it a top-tier choice for silage contractors and livestock farms.
• Density Management: The recommended planting density is 75,000–80,000 plants per hectare. Staying within this range is crucial to ensure each plant reaches its full potential without competing for sunlight and nutrients.
• Growth Characteristics: With an FAO rating of 360, this hybrid is well-adapted to standard moisture regimes and shows consistent performance in the field.

By integrating ZPSK 360 into your crop rotation, you secure a reliable source of silage with a strong defensive profile, significantly reducing the risks associated with plant diseases.
