AS 170 SILAGE — this is a medium- and early-maturing corn hybrid with high drought, cold, and lodging resistance. The vegetation period ranges from 93 to 111 days, allowing effective use of fields for winter crop planting. Early flowering and maturation provide flexibility in agronomic schedules, and seeds are treated with insecticidal and fungicidal protectants for protection against pests and diseases.
The plant is tall with a short, thick, and slightly conical ear, having an average number of rows of kernels. The kernel type is intermediate, closer to starchy, with yellow-orange coloring on the upper and lower parts. The hybrid exhibits good stress tolerance, including critical phases of flowering and grain filling, as well as resistance to helminthosporium. Anthocyanin coloring of various plant parts is moderate, indicating its adaptive properties.
The potential yield of AS 170 SILAGE under production conditions reaches 6.7–9.2 tons per hectare, while the average grain yield in the region is around 65.4–77.8 c/ha, exceeding standard benchmarks. Grain moisture at harvest is at 25.1%, which facilitates quality storage and processing. Due to its characteristics, this hybrid is a reliable choice for achieving stable and high yields under various climatic conditions.
