Maize hybrid of the MAFATE variety is a high-yielding triple-line hybrid included in the State Register for the North Caucasus region. This mid-late maturing variety is characterized by high productivity, averaging 52.8 centners per hectare, with maximum yields reaching up to 76.1 centners per hectare. The vegetation period is approximately 120 days, allowing the hybrid to successfully adapt to the regional climate. The plant is tall with broad leaves, and the ear is long, thick, and cylindrical, with a large number of rows of kernels. The kernels have an intermediate type, closer to dent, with yellow-orange coloring on the upper part and orange on the lower. The MAFATE hybrid demonstrates high resistance to major corn diseases such as stalk rot and gray leaf spot, as well as weak infection by bacterial blight and moderate resistance to ear Fusarium and stalk borer damage. Additionally, the variety exhibits high cold tolerance and drought resistance above average, making it a reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions. A key feature is the moderate moisture content of the grain at harvest, which facilitates storage and processing. MAFATE is suitable for both grain production and animal feed, ensuring low caloric content while retaining all necessary nutrients for healthy nutrition. Thanks to its agronomic characteristics and resistance to adverse factors, this hybrid is a profitable and reliable solution for agricultural producers aiming to obtain high-quality corn crops.
