Maize DMS 1709

Yield consistency from "Kompaniya Mais"

The breeding program of NVFG "Kompaniya Mais" has long established itself as a reliable partner for Ukrainian farmers, and the DMS 1709 hybrid occupies a key niche in this lineup as a fast-maturing, high-performance solution. As a simple hybrid, it is specifically designed for high-quality grain production within a short timeframe, with a ripening period of just 90–100 days. This growth dynamic allows farmers to efficiently manage planting schedules while minimizing risks associated with unpredictable weather patterns.

Biological defense and durability

The core value of DMS 1709 lies in its genetic resilience. In modern intensive agriculture, the risk of yield loss due to pathogens and pests is critical. This hybrid demonstrates robust resistance to the most common threats faced by corn growers:

• Helminthosporiosis and Fusarium: the hybrid maintains plant integrity even under conditions of high humidity and high infection pressure.
• Corn smut: minimal damage to the ear and stalk ensures a cleaner, marketable grain harvest.
• European corn borer: natural tolerance helps reduce the frequency of insecticide applications.

These traits make this hybrid from "Kompaniya Mais" a predictable choice for farms that value a balance between inputs and final output.

Agronomic practices and recommendations

DMS 1709 is intended for intensive cultivation with a focus on grain production. The optimal potential for yield is achieved when planting density is maintained at 80,000–85,000 plants per hectare. This density is fine-tuned by breeders based on the plant’s architecture, allowing for maximum efficiency in sunlight and moisture utilization throughout the growing season. By choosing this Ukrainian-bred product, farmers gain access to a hybrid perfectly adapted to specific local climatic zones.
