Hybrid maize 3231 is a mid-late maturing variety with high grain yield, adapted to various growing conditions. Plants are characterized by high stature and evenly shaped ears with dent-type orange kernels. The hybrid exhibits high tolerance to summer maize diseases, as well as drought, fusarium, and lodging resistance, ensuring stable yield formation even under stress conditions. The average 1000-kernel weight is around 250 grams, and the FAO hybrid rating is 340, indicating mid-late maturity and good adaptation to Ukrainian climatic conditions.
The hybrid responds well to intensive cultivation technologies, including mineral fertilizers and biological agents, which contribute to increased productivity and improved grain quality. Recommended planting density varies depending on soil moisture: in well-watered areas — 70-75 thousand plants per hectare, in drier areas — 60-70 thousand plants per hectare, and on irrigated lands — up to 90-95 thousand plants per hectare. This adaptability allows effective use of the hybrid in various agroclimatic zones.
Average grain yield of the hybrid in cultivation regions reaches 68.3 centners per hectare, exceeding standard benchmarks by 14%. Maximum yields recorded were 106.9 centners per hectare. Grain moisture at harvest is approximately 20.5%, facilitating subsequent processing and storage. Due to its characteristics and disease resistance, hybrid 3231 is a reliable choice for grain and silage production across all of Ukraine.
