Maize IRINA 1

Genetic Potential and Agronomic Profile

The «IRINA 1» maize variety from the originator «Ooo Niir Iragro» is a breeding product tailored for specific market niches: fresh consumption and industrial processing. Unlike standard hybrids, this is a distinct varietal form, which offers specific advantages regarding trait stability during cultivation.

Grain Morphology and Technological Properties

A key feature of «IRINA 1» is its dent-type grain with a pronounced yellow-orange pigment. From a technical perspective, the dent shape ensures an optimal endosperm-to-germ ratio, which is critical for the processing industry. High carotenoid content, derived from the grain's coloration, makes this variety attractive for food production, where visual and organoleptic quality is paramount.

Early Maturation Agrotechnics

Early maturity is a fundamental trait of this variety. For the agricultural producer, this translates into:

• Minimized risks associated with prolonged autumn precipitation.
• Increased flexibility in harvesting schedule planning.
• Lower energy costs for grain drying due to natural field-moisture reduction.

The development by Dmitry Valeryevich Dzgoev and the «Ooo Niir Iragro» team focuses on adaptability to specific growing conditions, where a short vegetative period requires the plant to rapidly accumulate biomass and efficiently transform it into generative organs.

Practical Application

The «IRINA 1» variety fits perfectly into the segment of farms operating in two directions: selling cobs in the milk-wax ripeness phase for fresh market and supplying commercial grain to processing plants. The technical quality of the grain allows for its use in various production chains, ranging from the flour milling industry to the manufacturing of specialized feed additives.
