Maize Mercava

Focusing on Yield: The «Merkava» Hybrid

The «Merkava» corn hybrid is a product of intensive breeding by the Institute of Grain Crops of the NAAS of Ukraine. Designed specifically for grain production, this hybrid has become a reliable choice for farmers looking for a high-performance, stable crop capable of thriving within the Ukrainian agricultural landscape.

Why «Merkava» leads in grain production

In a competitive market where moisture content directly affects production costs, «Merkava» stands out for its balanced physiological development. The hybrid’s genetics are fine-tuned to convert soil nutrients and fertilizers into high-quality grain mass, making it a staple for farms utilizing intensive cultivation technologies.

• Primary Use: High-yield grain production.
• Adaptability: Proven performance consistency across the Forest-Steppe and northern regions of Ukraine.
• Resilience: Bred specifically for stalk strength and tolerance to major pathogens, ensuring easier harvesting and reduced yield loss.

The core advantage of «Merkava» is its excellent rate of moisture loss during the ripening phase. For the modern producer, this means lower energy costs at post-harvest grain drying facilities. Whether managed on fertile black soils or within demanding high-input systems, «Merkava» offers a predictable, high-value result that reflects the decades of expertise invested by the Institute of Grain Crops.
