OS 596

OS 596 is a medium-early maize hybrid (Zea mays L.) with a vegetation period of about 118 days and FAO 260. The hybrid is characterized by the Stay Green effect, which helps maintain green mass for a longer period and improves harvest quality. Plants are distinguished by very high stature and resistance to stalk rot, as well as low susceptibility to ear borer, fusarium, and corn borers, enhancing their resistance to diseases and pests. The average flowering time of the ear varies from early to medium, providing flexibility in agronomic planting schedules.

The OS 596 hybrid is recommended for cultivation in various regions, including the Central Chernozem, Middle Volga, and Lower Volga, indicating its adaptability to different climatic conditions. The 1000-seed mass ranges from 320-340 grams, and dry matter content reaches 38.5%, positively affecting feed base quality and harvest technological indicators. Average yield across the region reaches 87.6 centners per hectare, confirming the high productivity of this hybrid.

The OS 596 hybrid was developed in accordance with modern agricultural requirements and is suitable for intensive cultivation technologies. Thanks to its characteristics, it ensures stable and high yields, is convenient for harvesting, and is well-adapted to various soil-climatic conditions. This makes it an attractive choice for farmers aiming to achieve high-quality and economically viable maize harvests.
