OMKA 130 — a medium-early trihybrid corn (Zea mays L.) suitable for silage and grain feed. The hybrid features early tasseling and a medium vegetation period of about 116 days, enabling it to mature successfully in various regions, including Western Siberia and Central Chernozem. It is a medium to tall plant with broad leaves, long, thick, and slightly conical ears, medium-type kernels closer to starchy, with yellow-orange upper parts and orange lower parts. Grain moisture at harvest is around 22%, facilitating convenient direct field harvesting.
OMKA 130 hybrid is characterized by high yield: average grain yield reaches 83.1 c/ha, 23.4% higher than the standard, with maximum yields up to 143 c/ha. For silage use, the normalized dry matter yield is 68.1 c/ha. The hybrid is resistant to several diseases, including southern and northern helminthosporium and ear bacterial blight, enhancing its reliability and reducing the risk of yield loss.
For successful cultivation of OMKA 130, it is essential to follow agronomic requirements: proper field selection and preceding crops, quality soil preparation, timely planting, effective weed control, and crop maintenance. Under these conditions, the hybrid ensures stable production of high-quality grain with optimal moisture content of 26-35%, making it highly demanded in feed production, especially in Siberia and other regions with similar climatic conditions.
