Maize Armada

The Armada corn hybrid is a mid-season simple hybrid with FAO 300, intended for grain and silage use. Plants reach an average height of about 260 cm, with ear attachment height of approximately 98 cm. Ears contain 16-18 rows of kernels, with 40 to 46 kernels per row. Kernel type is silicified-toothed, ensuring high harvest quality. The hybrid’s yield potential reaches 159 centners per hectare under optimal growing conditions. Armada is distinguished by high resistance to various diseases and stress factors. Resistance levels to helmintosporiosis and fusarium are rated 8, to gray leaf spot — 7, and to lodging — 7. The hybrid also exhibits high drought resistance, making it suitable for cultivation in areas with insufficient moisture. Recommended plant density at harvest is 80-90 thousand plants per hectare in well-watered zones and 60-70 thousand in drier regions. The hybrid is characterized by rapid early growth and robust, high vegetative mass, promoting good water use efficiency and effective yield formation. 1000-kernel weight varies from 340 to 360 grams, indicating kernel size and density. Due to these qualities, Armada is suitable for grain, silage, biogas, and feed production, making it a versatile and profitable choice for agricultural enterprises.
