MAS 16B corn seeds are a high-quality hybrid designed for cultivation in various agroclimatic conditions, including arid regions. This early variety is characterized by high yield and resistance to lodging, ensuring reliable and stable harvests. MAS 16B has good tolerance to helminthosporium, which contributes to plant health and reduces losses during cultivation.
MAS 16B belongs to the mid-early maturity group with a FAO of approximately 280, allowing effective use for grain and silage purposes. Plants have medium to medium-high height with medium-level ear attachment. Kernels form a cream-colored, tooth-like type, arranged in 16-18 rows, with 24 to 28 kernels per row and 1000-kernel weight ranging from 330-350 grams. These characteristics ensure high germination energy, good drought resistance, and efficient water use during harvest.
MAS 16B’s agronomic traits include high germination energy, resistance to lodging, and a long "Stay Green" effect, which helps preserve green mass and improve harvest quality. The sum of active temperatures for flowering and maturity is approximately 880°C and 1720°C respectively, enabling the hybrid to adapt to various climatic conditions. MAS 16B is a biologically pure product, making it an attractive choice for farmers seeking ecologically safe and efficient agriculture.
