EURO 301 MV

Euro 301 MV is a medium-early, simple modified corn hybrid with a maturity group of FAO 300, developed by breeders of the MAIS company. It is intended for cultivation in various climatic zones of Ukraine, including Steppe, Forest-Steppe, and Polissia. The vegetation period of the hybrid varies from 109 to 119 days depending on the region, with plants reaching a height of up to 230 cm and ears of cylindrical shape positioned at approximately 130 cm. The kernels are dent-shaped with a yellow color, with a 1000-kernel weight ranging from 250 to 310 grams, and a grain yield of 78–82%.

The hybrid exhibits high drought and high-temperature tolerance, as well as moderate resistance to diseases such as common and dusty smut, and pests including corn borer, with a resistance rating of 7 out of 9. Plants show moderate lodging resistance 30 days after physiological maturity. Euro 301 MV has a moderate germination speed and can adapt to short-term cold spells. Additionally, the hybrid is resistant to sulfonylurea herbicides, which can be applied without restrictions.

Euro 301 MV is versatile in use: its grain is suitable for producing feed and starch, as well as for silage, especially in the Polissia region. The grain yield potential reaches 135 centners per hectare in the forest-steppe zone and varies depending on growing conditions. Silage yield may reach up to 720 centners per hectare in Polissia. The recommended soil temperature for sowing is +10–12 °C, and the optimal plant density at harvest varies by region, ranging from 30,000 to 75,000 plants per hectare.
