IDA MGT — medium-early three-line hybrid maize for grain, with high yield potential within its FAO group. The plant is of medium height with a conical-cylindrical ear of moderate length and thickness, having 14-16 rows of kernels. The kernels are toothed, the upper part is yellow, the lower part is orange, and the ear stalk is red. The leaves are slightly curved, with a medium angle between the leaf blade and stem, and flowering occurs very early. The hybrid is characterized by weak or absent anthocyanin pigmentation of the husk and silk. IDA MGT demonstrates high grain yield and normalized dry matter content, outperforming standards in the Central Chernozem and Ural regions. Average grain yield in these regions is 80.3 c/ha and 29.5 c/ha respectively, with maximum yields reaching 130.1 c/ha and 78.2 c/ha. Grain moisture at harvest varies between 24.4% and 33.8%. Average dry matter content in green mass reaches 29.6%, exceeding standard values. The vegetation period is approximately 119 days, which corresponds to the average for this type of hybrid. The hybrid is characterized by good drought tolerance and efficient grain moisture release, making it adaptable to various climatic conditions. Recommended planting density depends on annual water availability: at rainfall up to 350 mm — 60-62 thousand plants per hectare, at 350-450 mm — 65-68 thousand, and above 450 mm — up to 70 thousand plants per hectare. IDA MGT is resistant to stalk rot, enhancing its reliability and grain quality. The hybrid is registered and approved for use in Russia, Europe, Moldova, and Belarus.
