Maize AS 33 017

AS 33 017 — mid-early hybrid maize (Zea mays L.), intended for cultivation in the Central Chernozem and Lower Volga regions. This hybrid is characterized by high yields of both grain and silage, making it versatile for various agricultural purposes. The vegetative period is approximately 119-125 days, allowing the hybrid to successfully adapt to regional climatic conditions and ensure a stable harvest.

The AS 33 017 plant is characterized by high stature and medium leaf width with a rounded tip. Leaves and stems have weak or absent anthocyanin pigmentation, and the ear is cylindrical, of medium length and thickness. The grain of the hybrid has intermediate or silicified type with yellow or orange coloring on the upper and lower parts. The number of rows of kernels varies from medium to large, contributing to high yield. The hybrid is resistant to common smut, stalk rot, and ear fusarium, and exhibits low susceptibility to stalk borer.

Average grain yield in the Central Chernozem region reaches 64-76 c/ha, with maximum yields up to 127 c/ha, and moisture content at harvest is around 25-31%. The yield of dry matter is also high, confirming the quality of silage obtained from this hybrid. Due to its agronomic characteristics and disease resistance, AS 33 017 is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high-quality maize yields.
