Maize MK 396 SV

MK 396 SV — a medium-early hybrid corn of universal purpose, intended for cultivation as grain or silage. It is characterized by a strong root system and sturdy stem, ensuring resistance to lodging and drought. The vegetation period is 120-130 days, allowing the hybrid to successfully adapt to various climatic conditions, including stressful situations. Plants grow evenly, with rapid seed germination and uniform emergence, contributing to stable and high yields.

The hybrid has high genetic resistance to major corn diseases such as common rust, stalk rot, and gummy spot, reducing the need for additional plant protection. The ear is of medium size and semi-cylindrical shape, containing approximately 16 rows of yellow-orange dent kernels with a 1000-kernel weight ranging from 335-355 grams. The potential yield reaches 16 tons per hectare, and the hybrid responds well to mineral fertilizer application during the vegetation period.

MK 396 SV is recommended for cultivation in various zones, including the Polissia, forest-steppe, and steppe regions, taking into account optimal plant density depending on soil moisture. High water productivity and regenerative capacity make this hybrid a versatile and effective choice for farmers aiming to expand their forage base and obtain high-quality grain and silage. The hybrid is also adapted for cultivation with irrigation, enabling record yields under favorable conditions.
