AS 240

Stable yields with minimal risks

Choosing the AS 240 hybrid from Agroseeds is a pragmatic decision for farmers focused on high-quality grain production with predictable moisture release characteristics. Thanks to the simple hybrid type, the crops demonstrate high uniformity, which significantly simplifies the harvesting process and downstream logistics.

Agronomic profile and resistance

A key factor in selecting this maize is its natural immunity to major pathogens. The AS 240 shows high resistance to head smut and common smut, which allows for reduced fungicide application and significant budget savings on plant protection products without compromising yield potential.

• Grain type: Flint-dent. This structure provides an excellent balance between rapid grain fill and final product quality.
• Usage: Exclusively for grain production. The hybrid is ideal for farms focusing on elevator sales, where bulk density and grain grading are of paramount importance.
• Technology: With an FAO range of 90–1240, it is adaptable to specific climatic zones, ensuring optimal maturation before unfavorable weather conditions occur.

Practical experience with AS 240 in Ukraine confirms that this hybrid is forgiving of minor agronomic management errors and maintains productivity even under stress conditions. It is a reliable workhorse that does not require complex growing schemes but consistently delivers high results.
