POVOLZHSKIY 187 SV

POVOLZHSKIY 187 SV is a complex four-row hybrid of corn (Zea mays L.) of early maturity, primarily intended for silage use. The hybrid is characterized by high yield of normalized matter, which in the central region averages 102 c/ha, exceeding standard indicators by 15 c/ha. It exhibits moderate resistance to common smut and resistance to white mold, but is highly susceptible to ear and stalk borer, requiring careful plant protection.

POVOLZHSKIY 187 SV seeds are suitable for cultivation under various climatic conditions and demonstrate high adaptability and ease of cultivation. The hybrid is used for silage production and can also be utilized for feed and other purposes. Due to its resistance to several diseases and good productivity, it is a reliable choice for farmers aiming for stable yields.

To increase corn yield, it is recommended to apply effective methods of plant protection against weeds, particularly herbicides, which can increase yield by 7.9–14.7%. Additionally, foliar feeding with nitrogen- and zinc-containing preparations during the 3–5 leaf stage can further boost yield. Important factors include soil moisture content, plant stand density, and weed control, which significantly influence corn growth and development in agroecosystems.
