AFK LONH HREIN

Optimized Grain Production for Polissya

The «AFK LONG GRAIN» maize hybrid, introduced in 2026 by Agrofirma Kolos, is specifically engineered for high-yield grain production in the Polissya agro-climatic zone. This mid-maturing hybrid stands out due to its unique structural characteristics, which prioritize both harvest efficiency and grain development.

Key Morphological Advantages

The primary distinction of «AFK LONG GRAIN» is its plant architecture. While the plant is tall, the ear is positioned relatively low, which significantly enhances standability and simplifies mechanical harvesting. The ear itself is cone-cylindrical in shape with a large diameter, ensuring a high grain-to-cob ratio.

• Regional Adaptation: Specifically bred for the unique soil and climate conditions of Polissya.
• Harvest Efficiency: Low ear placement reduces lodging risks and optimizes combine performance.
• Photosynthetic Capacity: Broad leaves with a wavy margin and an upright-to-slightly-inclined orientation maximize solar energy capture.

The hybrid exhibits a moderate green leaf intensity and a distinct, strong waviness of the leaf margin. The flowering timing of both the tassel and the silk is balanced, allowing the plant to navigate the growing season without stress, ensuring consistent grain filling. With a small angle between the main axis and lateral branches of the tassel, the plant maintains a compact structure that focuses energy on yield rather than excessive biomass.
