OM 136

Field Performance of OM 136

For those managing maize production, the OM 136 hybrid represents a balance between biological reliability and industrial efficiency. Developed by the All-Russian Research Institute of Maize and SSP "Kukuruz," this hybrid is engineered to perform consistently across various soil types. With a maturity window of 75–80 days, it fits perfectly into a medium-early harvesting schedule, allowing operators to optimize machinery utilization and manage post-harvest grain handling with ease.

Operational and Technical Insights

• Disease Resistance: The plant exhibits significant resistance to Fusarium, rot, and various viral diseases. This natural durability reduces the reliance on intensive fungicide applications, lowering the overall cost of production per hectare.
• Grain Characteristics: The flint-type grain is dense and high-quality, making it an excellent candidate for industrial processing and food production, while remaining a top-tier option for animal feed.
• Harvesting and Maintenance: OM 136 is optimized for modern harvesting equipment. The grain threshes cleanly, reducing mechanical wear on the combine harvester and minimizing moisture-related drying costs, which directly improves the bottom line.

Economic Efficiency

The versatility of OM 136 is its greatest operational asset. By covering multiple usage directions—from industrial raw material to feed—the operator gains a buffer against market fluctuations. Whether you are running a large-scale commercial farm or specialized food production, the predictability of this hybrid ensures that your investment in inputs results in a reliable output. It does not require specialized handling, making it a low-maintenance, high-reward choice for any farming operation.
