Maize Dneprovsky 177 SV

A Reliable Choice for Intensive Farming

Developed by the Institute of Grain Crops of the NAAS, the "Dniprovskyi 177 SV" hybrid has proven itself over decades as a dependable solution for farms operating in temperate zones. This simple, dent-type maize hybrid occupies a key niche among early-maturing crops, designed for both commercial grain production and high-quality silage harvesting.

Agronomic Traits and Disease Resistance

The core strength of the "Dniprovskyi 177 SV" lies in its field resistance to common pathogens that often cause yield loss under stressful conditions. The breeder has prioritized resistance to root rot and common smut. The plant also shows excellent resilience against fusarium, ensuring that both grain quality and silage nutritional value are maintained, even when maturity occurs during unfavorable weather patterns.

Cultivation Guidelines

With an FAO 170 rating and a vegetation period of 90 to 100 days, this hybrid is one of the most predictable options in its segment. To reach its full yield potential, it is crucial to adjust the planting density according to soil fertility and moisture availability:

• Intensive cultivation (sufficient moisture): 80,000–85,000 plants per hectare.
• Moderate moisture conditions: 70,000–75,000 plants per hectare.
• Arid regions: 50,000–65,000 plants per hectare.

The combination of a short growing cycle and optimized density allows farmers to manage their crop rotation efficiently, specifically by clearing fields in time for winter crops without compromising production profitability.
