Maize KUBANSKIY 160 SV

Stable yields with early maturity

The «KUBANSKIY 160 SV» hybrid from NPO Kos-Mais is an ideal choice for farms focused on early grain harvesting and quality forage production. Developed under the guidance of Vitaliy Garkushka, this hybrid underwent a breeding process aimed at adapting to challenging cultivation conditions where a short growing season is essential.

Agronomic Profile

With a maturation period of 70–80 days, the «KUBANSKIY 160 SV» falls into the ultra-early hybrid category. This rapid maturity allows farmers to clear fields early for winter crop sowing or to avoid adverse autumn weather. Its FAO 160 rating makes it a flexible tool for any professional agronomist.

• Phytosanitary Resistance: The breeders at NPO Kos-Mais have prioritized genetic protection. The hybrid demonstrates high tolerance to boil smut, which is a major concern for crops in high-humidity regions.
• Pest Protection: Resistance to the European corn borer significantly reduces the need for insecticide treatments, which is a key factor in improving the economic efficiency of cultivation.

Practical Application

This hybrid is primarily used for grain and fodder purposes. «KUBANSKIY 160 SV» consistently delivers predictable results when grown for silage and forage grain. It is not overly dependent on intensive technologies, making it popular both in large agricultural holdings and in private farms that prioritize stability and risk management. As a result of specialized breeding, this hybrid combines proven genetic lines with an excellent capacity for rapid grain moisture loss, which is crucial for reducing post-harvest drying costs.
