Corn Cross 292 MV

Corn Cross 292 MV is a medium-early, complex four-line hybrid created using modern breeding technologies. It belongs to the group of medium-early hybrids with a vegetative period of approximately 108–110 days and is classified as a universal hybrid suitable for cultivation both for grain and silage. Plants are tall, reaching 260–270 cm in height, with medium-length tassels and a weakly conical ear, with dent corn kernels predominantly yellow in color. The hybrid exhibits stable expression of traits under various climatic conditions, enabling successful cultivation in the Central, Central Chernozem, Middle Volga, North Caucasus, and Lower Volga regions of Russia, as well as in Ukraine. Cross 292 MV demonstrates high yield: in the Central region, the average yield of normalized dry matter is 70.7 c/ha, in the Middle Volga region — 91.3 c/ha, and in the Central Chernozem region it reaches 100.9 c/ha, meeting or exceeding standards. Grain yield under favorable conditions can reach 100–110 c/ha, and in the Kabardino-Balkar Republic in 2015, the maximum yield recorded was 109.2 c/ha. The hybrid possesses high drought resistance, resistance to lodging and several diseases, including southern helminthosporium, bacterial disease, and Fusarium ear rot, with only slight infection by common smut. Seeds of Cross 292 MV are produced on a sterile basis using CMS 'M' type according to the full restoration scheme, ensuring high quality and uniformity of planting material. Recommended for cultivation in various regions, including Belgorod and Ryazan Oblasts. Due to its characteristics and universal use, this hybrid is a reliable choice for agricultural producers seeking high and stable yields of both grain and silage.
