MAШUK 171 — this is an early-maturing three-line hybrid of corn (Zea mays L.) of universal use direction, intended for grain and silage production. The hybrid is characterized by high adaptability and is recommended for cultivation in regions with a limited growing season. The plant is light-green, medium height — about 235-240 cm, with narrow leaves of medium width. The ear has a weakly conical shape, 19-21 cm long, and contains 16-18 rows of kernels, which contributes to high yields.
MAШUK 171 has resistance to major corn diseases such as stalk rot, downy mildew, and gray leaf spot, as well as to damage by corn stalk borer. In addition, the hybrid is resistant to root lodging, ensuring stable yields and facilitating harvesting. Average grain yield varies by region: in the Central region it reaches 74.1 ц/га, in the Volga-Vyatka region — 37.5 ц/га, in the Middle Volga region — 59.6 ц/га, in the Ural region — 28.4 ц/га. Maximum silage mass yield is 55.71 т/га.
For optimal growth and development, plant density on 1 hectare should be within 75-80 thousand plants per hectare in areas with sufficient moisture. The hybrid has a FAO maturity index of 170, confirming its early maturity and allowing its use in various agroclimatic conditions. To protect against diseases, fungicide treatment is recommended, for example, with the preparation Vitavax 200. MAШUK 171 is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high and stable yields of grain and silage.
