Maize DK Burshytin

A Reliable Choice for Intensive Farming

The «DK Burshtyn» hybrid, developed by the Institute of Grain Crops of the NAAS, is designed for agricultural operations focused on predictable outcomes. With a FAO range of 90–1240 and a growth cycle of 120–140 days, this simple hybrid effectively utilizes regional moisture potential, delivering a high starch content of 74%.

Practical Field Application

Agronomists favor this hybrid for its versatility in creating both high-quality grain and nutritious silage. Depending on your farm's production goals, the recommended planting densities are:

• For grain production: A density of 50,000–55,000 plants/ha ensures optimal ear development and grain filling.
• For silage production: A higher density of 70,000–75,000 plants/ha is recommended to maximize biomass yield and feed energy density for livestock.

Disease Resistance and Economic Efficiency

A key advantage of «DK Burshtyn» is its genetic resilience, which helps minimize chemical input costs. The hybrid demonstrates strong immunity against major pathogens such as helminthosporiosis, plant rust, and various rots. Its inherent resistance to boil smut, head smut, and stalk smut simplifies crop management. Furthermore, the hybrid's resistance to stalk rot significantly reduces the risk of lodging, facilitating easier harvesting. With its proven resilience against the European corn borer, this hybrid maintains its structural integrity and yield quality from emergence through physiological maturity.

By choosing this simple hybrid, producers gain a reliable tool that combines stable yields with consistent performance across diverse environmental conditions.
