Maize Corsar 315 SV

Stable silage for your livestock farming

"Korsar 315 SV" is the choice for farms focused on producing high-quality silage raw materials. This simple corn hybrid, developed by breeders at the Institute of Grain Crops of NAAS Ukraine, has established itself as a reliable feed base that ensures stable nutritional value in rations.

Agronomic profile and features

The hybrid demonstrates excellent adaptability to Ukrainian climatic conditions. With a growing season of 120–140 days and an FAO rating of 310 (corresponding to the 90–1240 range in the originator's classification), it effectively utilizes moisture potential throughout the season. The dent-type grain, combined with a high starch content (72%), makes this hybrid optimal for harvesting nutritious silage that is easily digestible for livestock.

Practical planting recommendations

To achieve target yield indicators, it is important to follow a differentiated approach to plant density:

• 60,000–65,000 plants/ha for regions with insufficient or unstable moisture;
• 70,000–75,000 plants/ha for areas with sufficient moisture or under irrigation.

A key characteristic of "Korsar 315 SV" is its genetic resistance to fusarium and helminthosporiosis. This significantly simplifies the protection system, reducing the need for repeated fungicide applications and minimizing losses in green mass quality immediately before harvest.

Operational goals of the hybrid

Using this hybrid is justified for farms requiring predictable results in forage harvesting. Thanks to its high starch concentration, silage based on "Korsar 315 SV" contributes to increased milk herd productivity and improved weight gain performance. The hybrid is highly manageable: it is resistant to lodging and matures uniformly, allowing for optimized harvest scheduling during the busy season.
