Maize AS 14200 / AC 14200

Precision Breeding for Starch and Ethanol Yields

In the competitive world of hybrid corn, AC 14200 from Aspria Seeds distinguishes itself as a specialized variety designed specifically for industrial processing. Developed by breeder Ihor Ihorovych Kovsharov, this simple dent corn hybrid is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of starch and ethanol producers, offering high physical and chemical consistency.

Resilience: A Key Competitive Edge

The standout feature of AC 14200 is its robust defense profile. In modern intensive agriculture, where fungal diseases can compromise large swathes of land, this hybrid exhibits remarkable resistance to Helminthosporium and various rot complexes. This genetic resilience isn't just an agronomic benefit; it is a direct contributor to profitability, reducing the economic burden of intensive fungicide applications.

• Dent Grain Type: Ensures high density and superior processing efficiency.
• FAO 90–1240: Offers a wide flexibility range, allowing growers to manage harvest cycles effectively.

Optimized for Industrial Value

AC 14200 is not a "one size fits all" variety; it is a purpose-driven tool for operations linked to downstream processing. Its grain structure is optimized for high starch extraction rates, making it a preferred choice for plants producing ethanol or starch-based industrial inputs. For farmers seeking a reliable, high-yield hybrid that stands up to environmental stress and disease pressure, AC 14200 provides a reliable, high-quality output.

Pros: Excellent suitability for deep processing, high natural resistance to stem and root rots, consistent performance under intensive management.
Weaknesses: Requires precise adherence to crop rotation and optimal seeding windows to maximize yield potential.
