Maize KSP 1 SV

Crop Stability in Challenging Conditions: The KSP 1 SV Hybrid

When selecting seeds for agricultural operations focused on both grain and silage production, the KSP 1 SV hybrid from the V.V. Dokuchaev Voronezh Federal Agrarian Scientific Center offers a pragmatic, performance-driven approach. It is designed not for greenhouse conditions, but as a robust tool for consistent biomass and high-quality grain yield.

Agronomic Advantages

The defining strength of KSP 1 SV lies in its biological stress resistance. The breeding program at the Dokuchaev Institute prioritizes genetic immunity, resulting in a hybrid with strong resistance to fusarium and common smut. Furthermore, the hybrid exhibits significant field tolerance to the European corn borer, a critical factor for regions with high pest pressure where stem damage is a major concern.

Key Specifications and Usage

• Biology: Dent-type grain with a yellow-orange hue and excellent ear filling.
• Application: Highly versatile; suitable for commercial grain, silage production, and livestock feed mixes.
• Growth Cycle: The 160–180 day maturation period allows the plant to leverage heat units fully, resulting in substantial biomass for silage harvesting.

Who is this hybrid for? KSP 1 SV is ideal for agribusinesses and farmers seeking a balanced solution for livestock fodder. Its high vegetative mass makes it highly productive for silage, while the dent grain provides excellent nutritional value for cattle feed. Due to its adaptability, KSP 1 SV serves as a predictable element of any crop rotation, minimizing the risk of yield loss from common pathogens.
