Sugarcane maize hybrid MAJONG is a medium-early three-row hybrid developed by Australian breeders from SAATBAU LINZ and MAS SEEDS S.A. The vegetative period ranges from 86 to 102 days. The plant is strong, medium-height, with a large ear and medium-sized leaves. A distinctive feature is the anthocyanic root coloration of moderate intensity. The kernel type is dent, with 1000 kernels ranging from 280 to 320 grams, and starch content reaching 80%. Hybrid MAJONG exhibits high drought resistance, making it especially valuable for regions with limited water supply, such as the Akmola, Kostanay, North Kazakhstan, West Kazakhstan, and East Kazakhstan regions. Additionally, the plant demonstrates excellent resistance to lodging and stem breakage, which helps preserve yield and simplifies harvest. The hybrid responds well to intensive farming technologies, allowing high yields with proper agronomic practices. The average yield of MAJONG maize reaches 66.7 centners per hectare, with maximum yields up to 120.7 centners per hectare. Sowing rates are recommended at 80-100 thousand plants per hectare. High starch content in the kernels makes this hybrid attractive for use in the food industry and feed production. Thanks to its combination of high productivity, resistance to adverse conditions, and superior kernel quality, MAJONG is a reliable choice for farmers aiming for stable and efficient sugar cane maize production.
