Maize MASHUK 360 MV

MASHUK 360 MV is a mid-season three-line corn hybrid, primarily intended for grain and silage production. Plants reach a height of 245–260 cm, with ears attached at a height of 65–70 cm. The hybrid features semi-erect leaf arrangement and high resistance to stem breakage below the ear, which is especially important when harvesting is delayed. The grain rapidly loses moisture during the maturation period, facilitating harvesting and storage.

MASHUK 360 MV exhibits high resistance to major corn diseases, including southern rust, common smut, bacterial blight, and ear Fusarium. It also shows tolerance to pests and high responsiveness to fertilizers, contributing to stable and high yields. Average grain yield in the Central Black Earth region reaches 52 c/ha, while in the North Caucasus region — 58.8 c/ha. In the Kabardino-Balkar Republic, yields varied from 8.2 to 12.5 t/ha depending on the year and sowing area.

The hybrid seeds have high germination (96%) and energy value (95%), meet GOST R 52325-2005 quality standards, and are certified. They are packaged in 25 kg bags with the fungicide TMTD, moisture content of 13%, and purity of 99.67%. The recommended plant population for grain and silage cultivation is 60,000 plants per hectare on dry land and 70,000 per hectare under irrigation. The hybrid is registered in the State Register of Selection Achievements of Russia and awarded a Gold Medal of 1st Degree at the Exhibition-Conference in Saint Petersburg.
