Maize Motrin 178 SV

Three-way Hybrid Architecture

"Motryn 178 SV" is a classical three-way hybrid corn developed by Ukrainian selectors L.V. Tsentylo and V.S. Boreiko. Utilizing a three-way crossing scheme allows for a pronounced heterosis effect, which practically results in high field uniformity and superior adaptability to environmental stress factors compared to single-cross hybrids.

Growth Cycle and Potential

With a maturation period of 110-120 days, this hybrid falls into the mid-early maturity group. The FAO rating ranging from 90 to 1240 highlights the flexibility of the genetic material, allowing the crop to effectively utilize available moisture and thermal resources within the defined vegetation interval.

Grain Morphology

The dent-type grain of "Motryn 178 SV" provides a technological edge during post-harvest processing. This structure is characterized by an optimal balance of starchy endosperm and a hard outer layer, which ensures:

• High grain yield during threshing;
• Stable bulk density for storage;
• Minimal damage to the pericarp during elevator cleaning processes.

The breeding work conducted by "Rasava" focuses on creating a hybrid that consistently realizes its biological potential within the conditions of Ukrainian farming, providing growers with predictable returns per hectare.
