Maize PORUMBENY 293 AMV

PORUMBENY 293 AMV — this is a medium-early, two-line hybrid corn (Zea mays L.) with universal usage direction, intended for cultivation for grain, silage, and grain-silage mix. The plant is tall, reaching 250-265 cm in height, with 17-18 leaves. The ear is large, slightly conical in shape, with 16-18 rows of dent yellow kernels, weighing 300-320 g per 1000 kernels. The ear stalk is red. The hybrid is characterized by good plant development, high heat and drought tolerance, as well as excellent grain moisture loss at maturity. PORUMBENY 293 AMV shows high resistance to gray leaf spot, stalk rot, and lodging, ensuring stable productivity under various climatic conditions. In the Central, Volga-Vyatka, Central Chernozem, North Caucasus, and Lower Volga regions, the hybrid yields grain from 33.4 to 91.7 c/ha, while in steppe zones yields may reach 92-97 c/ha, and under irrigation — 152-176 c/ha. The hybrid belongs to the FAO maturity group 370, matures in 108-114 days, and its grain moderately quickly loses moisture, facilitating harvest and storage. Recommended planting density varies depending on growing conditions: in dry regions, optimal density is 55-60 thousand plants per hectare, under sufficient moisture — 65-75 thousand/ha, and under irrigation — 85-95 thousand/ha. The high ear content in silage mass makes this hybrid attractive for comprehensive use. Due to its agronomic characteristics and disease resistance, PORUMBENY 293 AMV is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high and stable corn yields.
