Maize Kharkivskiy 221 SV

Classic Breeding for Consistent Yields

"Kharkivskyi 221 SV" is a staple of the V. Ya. Yuriev Plant Production Institute breeding program. This simple maize hybrid has proven itself as a reliable solution for farmers focused on consistent grain production in Ukraine's moderate climate. Over decades of field usage, this model has earned a reputation as a "workhorse" that forgives minor agronomic errors and delivers stable yields where more demanding imported hybrids may fail.

Agronomic Profile and Resistance

With a maturation period of 100-110 days, this hybrid falls into the medium-early maturity group. This is a critical advantage, as the grain reaches its required condition well before the onset of adverse autumn weather. The flint-dent grain type provides excellent test weight, which is highly valued on the grain market.

• Phytosanitary Status: Genetic resistance to maize fusarium and common smut significantly reduces the need for costly fungicide applications, allowing for better cost optimization per hectare.
• Pest Protection: The hybrid shows increased tolerance to European corn borer damage, which is essential for regions with high pest pressure.

Why Growers Choose Kharkivskyi 221 SV

The primary value of this hybrid lies in its plasticity. Unlike highly specialized lineups, this hybrid adapts well to the soil and climatic conditions of various Ukrainian regions. For farms prioritizing quality grain production with predictable costs, "Kharkivskyi 221 SV" remains an economically sound choice, proven by time and thousands of hectares of actual production.
