Maize Colosseum 180 VS

Genetic Potential and Adaptive Capability

"Kolizey 180 VS" by PVF "Agrocenter" is a simple hybrid corn, specifically engineered for both grain and silage production. The core advantage of this hybrid is its high environmental plasticity, which ensures stable performance across various Ukrainian agro-climatic zones. With an FAO of 180 (within the 90–1240 range), it is classified as an early-maturing hybrid with a growing cycle of 90–100 days, making it ideal for optimizing harvest timing and mitigating risks from early autumn frosts.

Phytosanitary Resistance

The technical superiority of "Kolizey 180 VS" lies in its comprehensive tolerance to major corn pathogens. Its genetic resistance to fusarium ear rot and common smut minimizes the impact of diseases that typically degrade crop quality. Furthermore, its inherent resilience against helminthosporiosis and stalk smut allows farmers to optimize fungicide programs, directly reducing production overheads while maintaining yield integrity.

Optimal Planting Density

The hybrid demonstrates a strong response to seeding density, allowing agronomists to adjust populations according to soil moisture levels:

• Irrigation or high-moisture zones: 80,000–85,000 plants/ha.
• Optimal conditions: 70,000–75,000 plants/ha.
• Low-moisture zones: 50,000–55,000 plants/ha.
• Extensive/Arid farming: 45,000–50,000 plants/ha.

The dent-type grain structure provides excellent dry-down performance, which significantly simplifies logistics and reduces energy consumption during post-harvest grain drying.
