Maize KM 3130

Stability and Adaptability: KM 3130 Maize

In the face of changing climate conditions, Ukrainian farmers are increasingly choosing varieties adapted to local challenges. The KM 3130 hybrid from "Heneks Ukraina" is the result of years of work by domestic breeders (Ivanchenko Mykola Hryhorovych, Shabatko Oleksii Oleksiiovych, Karunnyi Vitalii IUriiovych), focused on achieving stable grain yields across various soil and climatic zones of the country.

Agronomic Potential and Characteristics

KM 3130 is a simple hybrid with a dent grain type, making it an optimal solution for grain production. The vegetation period ranges from 120 to 140 days, allowing the crop to effectively utilize accumulated heat throughout the season.

A significant feature of this hybrid is its resistance to pathogens. Breeders have paid particular attention to protection against common smut (Ustilago maydis), a disease capable of significantly reducing both crop quality and volume. Additionally, the genetic potential of KM 3130 ensures a high level of resistance to fusarium and stalk rot, which significantly simplifies crop protection management in the fields.

Planting Recommendations

The hybrid's flexibility is demonstrated by the ability to vary plant density depending on the moisture availability of the plot and the general farming background:

• Under limited moisture conditions, a density of 45,000–50,000 plants/ha is recommended.
• In zones with sufficient rainfall, optimal indicators are 60,000–65,000 plants/ha.
• On highly productive backgrounds or under irrigation, the density can be increased to 70,000–75,000 plants/ha.

KM 3130 is a choice for farms aiming for predictable results without excessive expenditure on fungicide treatments, thanks to its inherent genetic resistance.
