Maize NEMO 216 MV

Technical Profile of the "Porumben" Breeding

The Moldavian hybrid "Nemo 216 MV" is a complex hybrid developed by the "Porumben" Institute of Crop Science. Its genetic architecture is engineered for climate adaptability. The core feature is the flint grain type with white pigmentation, which directly influences the density and biochemical profile of the starch and protein complex within the kernel.

Agrotechnical Indicators and Plant Protection

With a vegetation cycle of 75–80 days, this hybrid falls into the early-maturing category. From a physiological standpoint, this timeframe allows for harvest before extreme heat stress occurs. The hybrid exhibits robust resistance to common smut. A critical technical advantage is the protection against stalk smut, which preserves the structural integrity of the plant's vascular bundles, ensuring stable translocation of nutrients from leaves to the ear throughout the grain-filling phase.

Practical Application and Performance

The versatility of "Nemo 216 MV" stems from its morphological traits, making it suitable for silage, grain, and fodder production. The white flint grain offers superior feed value. The grain's dense structure ensures excellent storage longevity and suitability for processing into high-quality animal feed. When standard agronomic practices are applied, the hybrid maintains uniform stand height, which facilitates efficient mechanical harvesting and minimizes header losses.
