Maize DN Stiag

Ukrainian Genetics for Commercial Maize Farming

The «DN Styag» hybrid, developed by the Institute of Grain Crops of the NAAS, represents the strength of Ukrainian agricultural science. Built for durability and performance, this simple hybrid is designed for farmers seeking consistency in grain yield. It has earned its place on the market as a reliable choice for intensive cultivation systems across various Ukrainian regions.

Agronomic Profile

Characterized by its dent-type kernels, the hybrid provides excellent dry-down rates, facilitating more efficient harvesting schedules. With a maturity window spanning 120–140 days (FAO 90–1240), it performs exceptionally well in temperate climates. One of its standout features is its robust health profile, offering specific resistance to common smut and protective traits against stalk smut, which are vital for maintaining crop integrity.

Yield Optimization

To capture the full potential of the hybrid, standardizing plant populations is essential. Field data suggests an optimal harvest density of 50,000 to 55,000 plants per hectare. Following these guidelines ensures the crop has sufficient space and resource access to produce high-quality, fully developed ears, meeting the requirements for commercial grain production.
