Maize Mulan

Stable grain yields: the potential of the «Mulan» variety

When selecting seed material for grain corn production, agronomists are increasingly focusing on the crop’s resistance to a complex of pathogens that can compromise profitability before harvest begins. The «Mulan» variety, from the Ukrainian producer «Uni Korn», is a solution for farms aiming for predictable results with moderate expenditure on fungicide protection.

Agrotechnological features and plant protection

The maturity period for this hybrid ranges from 120 to 140 days, allowing for strategic planning of the planting campaign to ensure well-filled grain at physiological maturity. The key value of «Mulan» lies in its genetic resistance to a wide range of dangerous corn diseases. Under field conditions, this variety demonstrates high resistance to:

• Mycosphaerella and brown leaf spots;
• Rust (including yellow and brown rust forms);
• Septoria;
• Fusarium ear and stalk rot;
• Powdery mildew.

This «genetic shield» significantly reduces the risk of crop loss during seasons with high infection pressure. For an agronomist, this means the ability to optimize the schedule of protective treatments, preventing widespread crop infection even under unfavorable weather conditions.

Practical field application

The primary use of «Mulan» is for commodity grain production. Due to its adaptability, the variety performs well across various agro-climatic zones of Ukraine. When planning sowings, it is important to consider that the maturity period (up to 140 days) requires careful selection of predecessors and proper calculation of plant density based on the moisture availability of the specific field. The variety from «Uni Korn» serves as an effective tool for achieving stable gross yields, requiring minimal intervention in the phytosanitary background during the early and intermediate stages of development.
