Maize CORN HYBRID RAM 8149

Reliable crop production with Ukrainian genetics

The RAM 8149 maize hybrid, developed by the «Naukovo-doslidnyi instytut ahrarnoho biznesu» (Scientific Research Institute of Agricultural Business), represents a robust solution for modern grain production. Designed with a focus on regional adaptability, this hybrid has gained recognition for its performance stability and resilience to various environmental stresses.

Agronomic Characteristics

As a simple hybrid, RAM 8149 offers excellent uniformity, which is critical for consistent harvest results. The kernel is of an intermediate type, optimized for efficient moisture release during the maturation period of 120–140 days. With an FAO range of 90–1240, this hybrid allows farmers to adjust their planting strategies to meet specific local climate requirements.

Disease Resistance and Cultivation

One of the primary advantages of the RAM 8149 is its strong resistance profile against major maize pathogens. The breeding program focused heavily on minimizing risks associated with fungal infections. Specifically, the hybrid demonstrates high tolerance to:

• Gray mold (Botrytis);
• Common smut (Ustilago maydis);
• Rust;
• Fusarium and various stem rots.

To achieve maximum yield potential, the manufacturer recommends a planting density of 45,000 to 70,000 plants per hectare. By selecting the appropriate density—ranging from 45–55,000 to 65–70,000 plants/ha based on local soil moisture levels—growers can ensure optimal crop development and resource efficiency for grain production.
