Capital MV

Technical Potential of the «Kapital MV» Hybrid

Developed by the V. Ya. Yuriev Plant Production Institute of the NAAS, this simple maize hybrid is engineered for stable production of both grain and high-quality silage. Its technological value is defined by the synergy between a high starch content (71%) and a balanced vegetation period.

Biological Parameters and Adaptability

With an FAO rating of 190–240, the hybrid demonstrates dynamic maturation within a 100–110 day window. This architecture allows for efficient integration into crop rotation systems across various climatic zones in Ukraine. The dent-type grain structure ensures high test weight and facilitates post-harvest drying, which directly impacts overall economic efficiency.

Phytosanitary Resilience and Crop Protection

The genetic core of «Kapital MV» is focused on minimizing the need for fungicidal intervention through inherent disease resistance. Field performance data confirms strong resistance against key threats:

• Comprehensive protection against stalk rots and common smut.
• Resistance to damage caused by the European corn borer, reducing the risk of secondary fungal infections of the ear.
• Prevention of head smut development.

Agronomic Value for Producers

Utilizing this hybrid for grain and silage represents an optimal balance between early harvesting and production efficiency. The high starch content makes it a prime choice for livestock operations targeting high-energy forage, as well as for grain producers focused on consistent quality standards during elevator intake.
