Maize PORUMBENY 173 SV

PORUMBENY 173 SV — this is a complex four-line hybrid maize, belonging to early and mid-season varieties with a vegetation period of 110-115 days. The plant reaches a height of 250-270 cm, and ear length varies from 18 to 20 cm. The grain is semi-toothed with a yellowish-white coloration on the upper part, and the anthocyanin coloration intensity of the ear core is medium. The grain yield at harvest is 85-90%, indicating high efficiency of crop utilization.

The hybrid is intended for cultivation in the Volga, Ural, and West Siberian regions, where it shows medium grain yields ranging from 19.0 to 43.6 centners per hectare depending on the region. PORUMBENY 173 SV is resistant to drought, diseases, and pests, including bacterial and Fusarium ear diseases, and exhibits good resistance to lodging. Despite significant damage from corn borer, the hybrid maintains high productivity and grain quality.

This hybrid is the result of breeding work aimed at creating self-pollinated lines with stable productive traits and adaptation to biotic and abiotic stressors. PORUMBENY 173 SV demonstrates a potential grain yield of up to 7-9 tons per hectare under compliance with technological requirements for mechanized harvesting. Its high productivity, optimal plant and ear height make this hybrid a promising choice for livestock feed use, both as grain and for silage.
