Maize BIRSU

Stable grain yield in temperate climate conditions

The «Birsu» corn variety, developed by Fgbun Hfits Dvo Ran, is designed for farms that prioritize consistent performance in grain production. In field conditions, this variety demonstrates reliable adaptation to environmental stressors, making it a preferred choice for regions with a high risk of fungal infections.

Phytosanitary profile and plant protection

The core value of this variety lies in its genetic resistance to pathogens that consistently threaten marketable grain quality. Using «Birsu» is particularly effective in fields with a high infection pressure:

• Phytosanitary resistance: The variety shows high resistance to Fusarium and Helminthosporium, which are primary threats to grain integrity during storage.
• Stem smut management: The breeding focus helps minimize losses from systemic diseases that affect the plant's generative organs.
• Pathogen response: Added immunity to Nigrospora ensures stalk integrity and proper grain filling even during periods of high humidity.

Choosing this variety allows for the optimization of fungicide costs. Due to its inherent resistance to a complex of diseases, agronomists can implement more flexible crop protection schedules, focusing resources on pest control without the constant fear of sudden fungal outbreaks.

Target applications

«Birsu» serves as a professional tool for securing high-quality feed and food-grade grain. It is selected by farmers who value high test weight and stable quality metrics across seasons. Developed by a team of breeders, including A. A. Shevtsova and A. I. Zubrev, the variety is tailored to modern intensive corn production technologies, requiring not only yield potential but also robust sanitary reliability.
