Maize Corn Hybrid Kadr 318 MV

Engineering the Hybrid Potential

"Kadr 318 MV" is a three-way hybrid corn developed through the extensive breeding programs of the Institute of Grain Crops of the NAAS. Its biological architecture is engineered to maximize yield potential within the temperate climate of Ukraine, where balancing crop stability against fluctuating seasonal weather patterns is essential.

Technical Specifications and Morphology

• Grain Dynamics: The dent-type grain structure is optimized for efficient dry-down, significantly reducing post-harvest drying costs.
• Dual-Purpose Versatility: The hybrid's selection profile is balanced for both grain production and high-quality silage formation.
• Planting Density: A recommended seeding rate of 50,000–55,000 plants per hectare minimizes inter-plant competition, ensuring full ear development even under water-stressed conditions.

Built-in Biological Resilience

The core value of Kadr 318 MV lies in its multi-layered resistance to common pathogens. Genetic markers for resistance to Fusarium and stalk rot significantly reduce the risk of lodging late in the season. Resistance to corn smut (common smut) preserves the integrity of the photosynthetic canopy and ear development, while resistance to the European corn borer mitigates the risk of secondary infections at infestation sites. With a FAO maturity rating ranging from 90 to 1240, this hybrid provides a reliable solution for producers prioritizing consistency and predictable output in their annual operations.
