Maize Gold 320

Versatile potential for grain and silage

The "Gold 320" corn hybrid from Private Enterprise "Agro-Gold" is a choice for farmers focused on flexible crop rotation structures. Due to its versatility, this hybrid successfully fulfills two critical tasks: the production of commercial grain and high-quality silage for the livestock sector. The flint-dent grain type provides an optimal balance between high test weight and excellent moisture dry-down during maturation.

Agrotechnological features and planting density

With a maturation period of 120–140 days, "Gold 320" is categorized as a mid-season solution. Its FAO 320 rating makes it highly adaptable to various climatic zones in Ukraine, although the hybrid performs at its best when planting densities are strictly managed:

• 65,000–70,000 plants/ha — optimal under moisture-limited conditions to ensure robust cob development.
• 75,000–80,000 plants/ha — standard scheme for zones with sufficient rainfall.
• 80,000–85,000 plants/ha — maximum density for fertile soils under intensive farming practices.

The simple hybrid type ensures crop uniformity, which is critical for efficient combine operation and achieving predictable yields per hectare. "Agro-Gold" has prioritized stability: a powerful root system and stem strength help minimize harvest losses, even if harvesting is delayed due to weather conditions.
