Maize Kharkivskiy 311 MV / Kharkivskyi 311 MV

Stability and Plasticity in Field Conditions

The "Kharkivskyi 311 MV" hybrid, developed by the V. Ya. Yuriev Institute of Plant Production, is a top choice for farmers prioritizing consistency in the Forest-Steppe and Polissia regions. As a simple hybrid with an FAO rating of 240, it demonstrates remarkable biological resistance to critical factors that often compromise corn yields.

Key Advantages

• Stalk and Inflorescence Health: Genetic protection against common and head smut, as well as stalk rot, minimizes losses during maturation.
• Versatility: The dent-type grain, with a 75% starch content, makes this hybrid equally valuable for grain production and high-quality silage.
• Adaptability: With a vegetation period of 110–120 days, the crop effectively utilizes regional moisture and thermal resources, maintaining high yields even under moderate stress.

Agronomic Recommendations

The hybrid shows strong response to plant population density. Optimal figures range from 45,000–50,000 plants/ha on less fertile soils to 80,000–85,000 plants/ha under intensive management. Special attention should be paid to monitoring the European corn borer; while the hybrid's natural tolerance significantly lowers the damage threshold, it does not replace the need for regular field scouting.

Who is this hybrid for?

"Kharkivskyi 311 MV" is ideal for farms seeking to optimize plant protection costs without sacrificing quality. Its greatest strength lies in combining traditional Ukrainian breeding expertise with high starch content, making it a highly profitable option for feed production.
