Petrovavlivskyi 392 MV

Technical Hybrid Profile: Kernel Expansion Selection

"Petropavlivskyi 392 MV" is a simple maize hybrid specifically engineered for popcorn production. Its genetic architecture is designed for the endosperm's capability of rapid expansion under thermal stress. Unlike dent or flint hybrids, the selection process here emphasizes high grain density and pericarp strength, ensuring the highest possible popping volume.

Agrobiological Parameters and Seeding Density

The vegetation period is 90–100 days, classifying it as a mid-early hybrid. This maturity intensity allows producers to schedule the harvest precisely, avoiding excessive moisture accumulation in the cob during the pre-winter period. A critical operational parameter is plant density: the recommended range is 55,000–60,000 plants per hectare. Adhering to this density is essential to ensure each cob receives the necessary nutrients, which directly impacts grain uniformity and physical properties.

Why choose "Petropavlivskyi 392 MV"

• Hybrid Type: Being a simple hybrid, it ensures high uniformity in crop height and maturity timing, which simplifies combine harvester adjustments.
• Purpose: Specialized breeding for the popcorn segment minimizes the number of "duds" (unpopped kernels) during processing.
• Stability: Developed through Ukrainian breeding programs, the hybrid offers high adaptability to local climatic conditions, showing resilience to temperature fluctuations during critical growth phases.

Choosing this hybrid is a strategic move for specialized farming, where every technological aspect—from the grain's genetic code to planting density parameters—is optimized to yield high-quality raw material for the snack industry.
