Maize MAS 40F

Hybrid corn MAS 40F is a high-yielding, mid-season variety with FAO 390, intended for grain production. It features a dent kernel type and forms large ears with 16-18 rows and 32-36 kernels per row, providing a thousand kernel weight of 340-360 grams. This hybrid requires approximately 19,400 degree-days of positive temperature for full maturity and demonstrates high yields of up to 14 tons per hectare under intensive cultivation.

MAS 40F is characterized by high resistance to stressful conditions, including drought and temperature fluctuations, making it a reliable choice for the Polissia and Forest-Steppe regions of Ukraine. The hybrid has excellent phytosanitary status, thanks to its genetic resistance to diseases such as fusarium, stalk and ear fusarium, helminthosporium, and summer and blister rust. Resistance to drought is rated 8, lodging resistance — 7, and rust resistance — 9, which helps preserve both the quality and quantity of the harvest even under adverse conditions.

Recommended planting density depends on water availability: under adequate moisture, optimal density is 65-75 thousand plants per hectare, while under limited moisture — 60-65 thousand. Seed treatment with Maxim HL and Alios is recommended to protect plants during early growth stages. MAS 40F is an excellent choice for farmers aiming to achieve stable and high-quality corn yields under various climatic conditions.
