Maize BG 1081 VS

An Ultra-Early Hybrid for Reliable Grain Production

The «BG 1081 VS» maize hybrid represents a targeted breeding achievement by the Belgorod State Agrarian University. Developed by experts E.V. Solonetskaya, Z.V. Bychenko, and Z.I. Shchelokova, this hybrid is specifically engineered for regions with short growing seasons, providing agricultural producers with a predictable and efficient solution for grain harvest.

Key Advantages and Adaptability

The primary feature of «BG 1081 VS» is its ultra-early maturity, reaching harvest readiness in just 75–85 days. With an FAO rating of 90–1240, this hybrid is an excellent choice for risk-prone farming zones or intensive double-cropping systems. Unlike mid-season varieties, this hybrid consistently reaches physiological maturity before early autumn frosts, significantly reducing moisture content and subsequent drying costs.

• Grain type: Flint-dent (kreminsto-zubovidny), which balances high test weight with excellent dry-down properties.
• Color: Vibrant yellow-orange, indicating high nutritional density.
• Use: Exclusively for grain production.

Planting Density Recommendations

To maximize yields, the seeding rate should be adjusted based on the specific field environment:

• 58,000–60,000 plants/ha: Optimal for areas with limited water availability, reducing plant-to-plant competition for soil moisture.
• 75,000–80,000 plants/ha: Recommended for areas with high moisture availability or under irrigation to leverage the genetic potential of the hybrid.

«BG 1081 VS» is not about chasing theoretical yield records, but rather about stable performance in real-world conditions where the length of the season is the limiting factor. If your operation prioritizes timely harvesting and reliable grain quality in a compact timeframe, this hybrid is a rational addition to your cropping strategy.
