MAS 26B

The MAS 26B corn hybrid is a high-yielding variety adapted for cultivation under drought conditions. It belongs to the mid-early to mid-maturing group with a FAO of approximately 260-280, allowing effective use in various climatic zones. Plants have medium to above-average height, and ear attachment height is also medium, facilitating harvesting and reducing yield losses. The hybrid is primarily intended for grain production, ensuring a stable and high-quality harvest.

The MAS 26B corn ear features a cream-colored, toothed kernel type, with 16-18 rows and 24-28 kernels per row. The 1000-kernel weight is 330-350 grams, indicating large kernel size and high product quality. The hybrid demonstrates good resistance to diseases, including helminthosporiosis, reducing the need for intensive plant protection and enhancing ecological safety of cultivation.

Agronomic characteristics of MAS 26B include high seedling vigor, excellent drought tolerance, and resistance to lodging, ensuring reliable and stable yields even under adverse weather conditions. The STAY GREEN index is 7, indicating prolonged green mass retention and optimal water use. Water-use efficiency is also high, facilitating drying and storage of grain. The hybrid selection was conducted in France, guaranteeing modern quality standards and adaptation to European agroclimatic conditions.
