DN Stuhna

A 2025 Breeding Breakthrough: Yield Potential for Forest-Steppe and Polissia

The "DN Stuhna" hybrid is a new grain corn solution developed by the Institute of Grain Crops of the NAAS of Ukraine. Registered in 2025, this simple modified F1 hybrid is designed for farmers seeking a balance between high productivity and adaptability to environmental challenges.

Agronomic Profile and Morphology

With an FAO rating of 280, "DN Stuhna" belongs to the mid-early maturity group, making it an excellent choice for the Forest-Steppe and Polissia regions. The plant reaches a height of 240–250 cm and exhibits high lodging resistance (8–9 points). A key feature is the ear morphology: while relatively short, it has an increased diameter and a conical-cylindrical shape, ensuring excellent grain filling and density.

Key Advantages

• High Yield Potential: The hybrid offers a yield potential of 13.5–14.5 t/ha, making it a strong performer in its maturity class.
• Drought Tolerance: With a rating of 8–9 points, it provides reliability even in regions with unstable precipitation.
• Technological Efficiency: The plant features moderate leaf waviness and an optimal leaf angle, promoting efficient photosynthesis and uniform maturation.

"DN Stuhna" is the ideal choice for those who value domestic breeding that combines scientific rigor with real-world field performance. The hybrid responds exceptionally well to intensive cultivation technologies while maintaining high plasticity under environmental stress.
