Maize MASLOVSKY 208 SV

MASLOVSKY 208 SV — a mid-season, three-row hybrid corn for grain, with high yield and exceptional nutritional value. The plant is characterized by high stature and wide leaves, which promote efficient photosynthesis and growth. The 1000-grain weight ranges from 280 to 320 grams, and starch content in the grain reaches 73%, making this hybrid especially valuable for producing grain with high dry matter content. Anthocyanin coloration of the first leaf sheath varies from moderate to strong, which is one of the signs of plant resistance. The hybrid demonstrates high resistance to lodging and stem breakage, ensuring crop preservation under adverse weather conditions. It also shows resistance to drought conditions, making it suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones. In field conditions, MASLOVSKY 208 SV is weakly affected by common smut and bacterial diseases, and exhibits moderate resistance to stalk rot and corn borer, which reduces yield losses and the need for intensive plant protection. The vegetative period of the hybrid is approximately 113 days, allowing its use in various agronomic systems, including conventional, minimum tillage, strip-till, and irrigation. Sowing rates are recommended in the range of 80–100 thousand plants per hectare. Average grain yield in the Central Chernozem region reaches 78.5 c/ha, with a maximum of 114.8 c/ha, confirming the hybrid’s high productivity and adaptability to regional conditions.
