Maize AS 13290

Genetic protection and versatility: The AS 13290 hybrid

In the corn market, the selection from Aspria Seeds, developed by Ihor Ihorovych Kovsharov, occupies a niche of intensive three-way hybrids. The AS 13290 model is the result of careful selection, aimed at farmers seeking a balance between high grain yields and quality silage. Belonging to the FAO 90–1240 maturity group, this hybrid requires a growing season of 120 to 140 days, making it a strategic choice for operations aimed at maximizing the thermal resources of the season.

Agronomic profile and resistance

A key feature of AS 13290 is its robust "immune system." The breeder has paid close attention to the phytosanitary safety of crops, embedding high resistance to common smut (Ustilago maydis) into the hybrid's genetics. Against critical threats such as Helminthosporium, Fusarium, and onion stalk smut, the hybrid demonstrates high tolerance, allowing for reduced fungicide application without losing plant stand density.

Practical application

The flint-dent grain type ensures a high test weight, which is essential for commercial grain, while the hybrid's plasticity allows for effective use in forage production as well. AS 13290 adapts easily to growing conditions, maintaining stable development even under climatic stress. It is a choice for farmers who prioritize predictable results across large areas.
