Kharkivskyi 250 MV

Elite breeding from the Yuriev Institute

«Kharkivskyi 250 MV» represents a reliable genetic solution developed by the V. Ya. Yuriev Institute of Plant Production (NAAS). As a simple hybrid, it has established itself over decades as a stable option for farmers prioritizing consistent yields within the diverse agro-climatic conditions of Ukraine. This hybrid is a testament to long-term successful breeding programs aimed at optimizing production costs without sacrificing quality.

Technical Specifications and Adaptation

With an FAO rating of 250 (100–110 days to physiological maturity), this hybrid is highly adaptable to regions with moderate growing seasons. The grain is of the flint-dent type, characterized by an impressive starch content of up to 72%. It exhibits robust field resistance to common pathogens such as smut (boil smut) and stalk rots, while also showing significant tolerance to the European corn borer, reducing the need for intensive chemical plant protection.

Versatility in Usage

The hybrid is designed for dual-purpose use: commercial grain production and high-energy silage production. For optimal performance, the recommended plant density is 50,000–55,000 plants per hectare. This spacing allows the hybrid to maximize its biological potential, ensuring uniform ear development and structural integrity of the stems.
