Maize KRAZNOYARSKY 196 MV

Corn Krasnodarsky 196 MV is an early-maturing three-line hybrid with a FAO of 190, intended for grain-and-silage use. The plant is of medium height with medium-width leaf blades and slightly curved leaves. The ear is weakly conical, of medium length with a long stalk and a large number of rows of kernels. The kernels are dent-shaped, yellow-orange in color, prone to rapid moisture loss upon ripening, which facilitates harvesting and improves raw material quality. The vegetation period is approximately 100-105 days depending on the growing region. The hybrid is adapted for cultivation in the North Caucasus, Middle Volga, and Lower Volga regions, demonstrating high grain and dry matter yields. Average grain yield reaches 49.0 c/ha in the North Caucasus region, 19.7 c/ha in the Middle Volga, and 37.8 c/ha in the Lower Volga, exceeding standard varieties. Dry matter content in the grain varies from 34.4% to 37.8%, and maximum dry matter yields reach over 300 c/ha under favorable conditions. The hybrid exhibits high drought resistance and resistance to stem rot, ensuring stable yields under various climatic conditions. Krasnodarsky 196 MV has moderate resistance to gray leaf spot and average susceptibility to bacterial wilt, white rot, and ear fusarium. However, it is severely damaged by the stalk borer. Thanks to its agronomic characteristics and adaptability, this hybrid is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain high-quality grain and silage in regions with diverse soil-climate conditions.
