Maize CD 39

KD 39: High-Starch Grain Maize Hybrid

When selecting seeds for grain production, balancing yield potential with disease resistance is crucial. The KD 39 hybrid, developed by the Scientific and Production Enterprise «Ukra», is a simple, dent-type hybrid designed to deliver consistent results. With a starch content of up to 73%, it serves as an excellent choice for both feed production and the industrial processing sector.

Superior Disease Resistance

One of the primary challenges in modern maize cultivation is managing pathogenic pressure. KD 39 stands out from its peers due to its robust natural resistance to a range of critical diseases, including:

• Root and stem rot;
• Common smut (Ustilago maydis);
• Helminthosporiosis and onion stem smut.

By investing in a hybrid with such strong innate defense mechanisms, farmers can optimize their fungicide application programs, effectively reducing production costs while maintaining high-quality crop yields even in high-pressure environments.

Agronomic Flexibility

Designed for efficiency, KD 39 adapts well to varying field conditions. The recommended plant density of 40,000 to 70,000 plants per hectare provides farmers with the flexibility needed to match their sowing rates to local water availability and soil fertility levels. As a grain-type hybrid, it is optimized for easy threshing and efficient post-harvest handling.

For those looking to combine domestic breeding quality with reliable field performance, KD 39 offers a balanced approach. It is an optimal solution for agricultural enterprises prioritizing predictable performance and stability over speculative experimental varieties.
