Maize GS 380

Stable Yields in Challenging Conditions: The Case for GS 380

Hungarian breeding by Woodstock is known for a pragmatic approach to genetics: the focus is not on record-breaking numbers in lab-perfect conditions, but on field resilience. The GS 380 hybrid is a classic representative of three-way dent corn hybrids, designed for farms that prioritize versatility and reliability.

Crop Health as a Top Priority

The standout feature of GS 380 is its genetic resistance to Fusarium. In seasons with high humidity, when most crops suffer from ear and stalk rot, this hybrid maintains cob marketability and grain quality. Its robust resistance to the European corn borer and bacteriosis allows farmers to save on excessive insecticide treatments, significantly lowering the cost per ton of production.

Agronomic Advantages

• Multi-purpose use: This hybrid is equally effective for grain production, high-quality silage, or milling purposes.
• Efficient drying: Thanks to its dent grain type, moisture release occurs faster than in many of its medium-maturity competitors.
• Optimized plant density: The recommended 55–65 thousand plants per hectare allow for optimal resource utilization, avoiding competition for moisture and light.

GS 380 is an excellent choice for those looking for a "workhorse" with medium maturity. It does not require specific intensive agricultural practices and is forgiving of minor management flaws, remaining consistently productive even under unfavorable phytosanitary conditions.
