Maize NS 2682

Reliable grain production with Serbian genetics

The Institut Za Ratarstvo I Povrtarstvo (Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops) has developed the NS 2682 hybrid specifically for growers seeking consistency and high performance. This simple hybrid is a cornerstone for agricultural operations aiming for high-quality grain yield, even in variable environmental conditions.

Field Performance and Agronomy

The NS 2682 exhibits a robust growth cycle ranging from 120 to 140 days, positioning it as a reliable mid-season choice for intensive farming systems. Its status as a simple hybrid ensures uniform crop development, which significantly facilitates mechanical harvesting and helps maintain consistent quality across the field.

Disease Resistance and Management

A standout feature of the NS 2682 is its strong genetic resistance to common maize pathogens, including Fusarium and common smut. This resistance profile is crucial for farmers looking to reduce the need for excessive fungicide applications and protect the overall health of their crops. Key cultivation guidelines include:

• End-use: Grain production.
• Plant population: For optimal results, a planting density of 85,000 to 90,000 plants per hectare is recommended.
• Performance: High adaptability to various soil types and management practices.

Choosing the NS 2682 means investing in proven Serbian breeding technology. It provides a balanced approach to agricultural efficiency, ensuring that the crop remains healthy through the ripening phase while delivering the yield potential required for profitable grain operations.
