Maize ES MILEDI

ES Miledi is a high-yielding mid-early maize hybrid with a FAO index of 330, developed by breeders of Euralis for cultivation in steppe and forest-steppe regions of Ukraine. It belongs to the category of universal hybrids with high yield potential, suitable for grain production and appropriate for medium and extensive farming technologies. The vegetation period of the hybrid ranges from 115 to 120 days, and planting is recommended at a stable air temperature not lower than +10ºC.

The hybrid features a strong root system, ensuring stable yields even under drought conditions. ES Miledi exhibits high resistance to lodging, major maize diseases such as common and downy mildew, helminthosporiosis, and Fusarium stalk and ear rot, as well as pests and parasitic plants. Rapid development during early growth stages promotes uniform emergence and enables effective herbicide application.

The kernel type of ES Miledi is silvery-serrated, which, combined with accelerated moisture loss during the grain ripening stage, helps optimize costs for drying the final product. The recommended plant population at harvest is 65–70 thousand per hectare in areas with adequate moisture and 50–65 thousand per hectare under conditions of insufficient moisture. This hybrid is a profitable choice for farmers aiming to achieve stable and high-quality grain yields.
