CAUCASUS 236 MV

CAUCASUS 236 MV is a medium-early three-line hybrid corn (Zea mays L.) intended for cultivation as a grain, feed, and silage crop. It is characterized by high yield and good grain quality, making it popular in agriculture. The average grain yield in the Central Chernozem region reaches 52.0 centners per hectare, and the normalized dry matter yield is 87.6 centners per hectare, indicating the hybrid's high productivity under optimal growing conditions.

The CAUCASUS 236 MV hybrid exhibits moderate resistance to a number of diseases, but is susceptible to common smut, ear fusarium, stalk rots, and stalk borer, and moderately susceptible to bacterial wilt. For successful cultivation, it is recommended to apply agronomic practices, fertilizers, herbicides, and proper harvest timing. Special attention should be given to growing this hybrid in northern areas of the Central Chernozem region, where the area planted with medium-early hybrids should be greater than that of early-maturing hybrids.

CAUCASUS 236 MV is one of the hybrids developed by the Institute of Corn Selection and Seed Production, which is registered in the State Register of Selection Achievements. These hybrids are distinguished by high yield, disease resistance, and adaptability to various climatic conditions, enabling their successful cultivation across different regions. Grain yield among the institute's hybrids varies from 5-6 tons per hectare for early-maturing groups to 12 tons per hectare for late-maturing ones, confirming their high productivity and economic efficiency.
