Maize Bogun

Technical profile of the "Bohun" hybrid

Developed by the Institute of Plant Physiology and Genetics of the NAS of Ukraine, this simple corn hybrid is specifically engineered for the milling industry. The breeding process focused on optimizing endosperm structure to ensure high yield and efficiency during grain processing.

Agrobiological parameters

• Maturity group: 110–120 days of vegetation, allowing for predictable harvesting schedules across most Ukrainian regions.
• Grain type: Yellow grain with specific physical and chemical properties required for high-quality grits production.
• Hybrid type: Simple hybrid, providing uniform crop development and high field consistency.

Phytosanitary potential

A key technical advantage of the "Bohun" hybrid is its genetic resistance to a broad spectrum of pathogens. Breeders prioritized defense against the most economically damaging diseases:

• Common smut: The hybrid exhibits high natural resistance, effectively preventing crop loss under significant disease pressure.
• Comprehensive protection: The hybrid demonstrates significant resistance against Helminthosporium leaf blight, various types of rots, and onion stalk smut.

In field operations, this translates to lower reliance on costly fungicide applications and improved yield stability, even in intensive crop rotation cycles. By selecting this hybrid, growers minimize risks associated with both soil-borne and air-borne pathogens, ensuring the grain meets the rigorous standards of modern processing facilities.
