Consistency for Your Farming Operations

"Dniprovskyi 187 MV" is a simple hybrid of maize developed by the Institute of Grain Crops of NAAS. Designed to perform across diverse Ukrainian soil and climate zones, it remains a go-to choice for farmers looking for a reliable balance between grain yield and high-quality silage production. With a FAO maturity rating of 180-240, this hybrid is well-regarded for its adaptability.

Key Agronomic Strengths

The standout feature of this hybrid is its robust genetic resistance to common maize pathogens. Specifically, it offers excellent tolerance against loose smut and head smut, reducing the necessity for intensive fungicide applications and protecting the final harvest quality.

• Hybrid Type: Simple, producing flint-dent grain that provides a great nutritional profile and ease of processing.
• Flexible Planting Density: Recommended densities range from 45,000 to 90,000 plants per hectare, allowing for precise adjustment based on moisture availability and your farm’s specific technological intensity.

Operational Scenarios

For operations focused on feed production, "Dniprovskyi 187 MV" is highly effective for silage due to its consistent vegetative growth and reliable nutritional output. When harvested for grain, it exhibits efficient moisture loss, which helps in reducing post-harvest drying costs. The hybrid’s strength lies in its predictability—from rapid germination to a stable harvest window, it helps managers minimize risks associated with disease outbreaks and harvest logistics. Its versatility makes it a prudent investment for both small-scale farmers and large commercial enterprises.
