Maize PORUMBENY 170 ASV

Genetic Profile and Engineering

Porumben 170 ASV represents a mid-maturing corn hybrid engineered for structural durability and consistent output. The defining technical feature is its flint grain type, which provides superior kernel density. This structural choice reduces damage during harvesting and increases resistance to pests that typically infiltrate softer grain types.

Agronomic Specifications

• Maturity cycle: Ranging from 90 to 120 days, the hybrid offers a flexible growth window, allowing growers to optimize harvest timelines based on local environmental factors.
• Dual-purpose utility: Designed for both grain production and high-quality silage. Its ability to retain energy in the biomass makes it an efficient option for livestock feed programs.
• Seeding density: The recommended rate of 70,000–80,000 plants/ha is calibrated to maximize individual plant yield while preventing resource competition in the field.

Plant Health and Protection Mechanisms

The hybrid incorporates robust resistance mechanisms against common crop threats. It is specifically bred to withstand loose smut and stalk rot, which are often the primary causes of yield loss in susceptible varieties. Furthermore, its biological profile includes natural resilience against the European corn borer, reducing the necessity for aggressive insecticide application. Combined with high tolerance to rust, the hybrid maintains a healthy canopy throughout the grain-filling phase, ensuring optimal nutrient translocation.

Porumben 170 ASV is engineered for agricultural systems where predictability, disease resistance, and harvest flexibility are prioritized to maintain profitability across diverse seasons.
