Maize Aria MS 330

The Aria MS 330 corn hybrid is a mid-season, simple hybrid with FAO 330, developed by the Ukrainian producer Maïs. It is suitable for cultivation both for grain and silage, making it a versatile solution for various agricultural needs. Plants reach a height of up to 250 cm, with an ear attachment height of approximately 120 cm. The ear has a cylindrical shape with 14–18 rows of yellow dent kernels, ensuring a high milling yield of approximately 79–80%. The vegetation period ranges from 111 to 124 days depending on the cultivation region. Aria MS 330 exhibits high resistance to adverse environmental factors, including drought, high temperatures, head smut diseases, and lodging, ensuring stable yields under various climatic conditions. The hybrid has moderate cold resistance and features a stay-green maturity type, where leaves remain green longer, promoting better biomass and quality accumulation. Seeds of the hybrid are well-adapted to resource-saving technologies and are compatible with sulfonylurea-type herbicides without restrictions. Key agronomic features include moderate initial growth energy and optimal soil temperature for sowing of 10–12°C. The hybrid is recommended for cultivation in various regions of Ukraine: in the Polissia region it shows high silage yield, while in the forest-steppe zone it demonstrates optimal grain yield. Recommended fertilizer application rate is 90–90–60 kg/ha by elements NPK. Thanks to its high capacity to form a second ear, Aria MS 330 is a profitable choice for intensive and energy-efficient agriculture.
