Maize MAS 282K

Reliable grain yields with French genetics

The MAS 282K hybrid from Mas Seeds is a choice for growers focused on high-quality grain production while maintaining efficient harvest logistics. French breeding in this instance demonstrates high adaptability, allowing for stable performance across diverse soil and climatic conditions.

Agronomic profile and protection

The key feature of this hybrid is its resistance to pathogens that traditionally decrease corn profitability. MAS 282K effectively resists loose and common smut, as well as Fusarium. This significantly reduces fungicide application costs and minimizes the risk of grain quality loss during field maturation.

• Hybrid type: Simple cross, ensuring uniformity in the field.
• Grain: Dent type, ideal for efficient threshing and rapid moisture release.
• Growing period: 140–160 days, making it a reliable solution for farms planning mid-to-late harvest windows.

Sowing recommendations

To realize the stated yield potential, maintaining proper plant density is crucial. The optimal range is 60,000–65,000 plants/ha for areas with limited moisture and up to 70,000–75,000 plants/ha on fertile soils with good moisture availability. The hybrid responds well to intensive cultivation technologies while maintaining plasticity under moderate management.

Using MAS 282K is justified where gross grain yield is the primary priority. It serves as a "workhorse" for farms seeking a balance between stem/ear disease resistance and predictable seasonal productivity.
