ROS-MOLD 159 SV — corn hybrid (Zea mays L.), intended for grain production. Depending on the region, it exhibits medium-early or late-maturing characteristics, with a vegetation period ranging from 107 to 121 days. The plant is tall with medium-width leaf blades; leaves may be straight or curved, with an angle between leaf and stem ranging from medium to large. Anthocyanin pigmentation varies from absent or weak to medium, affecting roots, glumes, anthers, and silk. The ear is medium or long, with a large number of rows of kernels, dent type, yellow with yellow-orange tints.
The hybrid is characterized by good yield: in the Central Chernozem region, the average yield is about 50.5 c/ha, which is 9.3% higher than the standard, and in the North Caucasus region — 62 c/ha, exceeding standard values by 5.2%. Grain moisture at harvest ranges from 22-24.8%, which is lower than standard values, facilitating subsequent processing and storage. The plant is resistant to several diseases, including stalk rot and smut, and demonstrates moderate resistance to bacterial blight, ear Fusarium, and damage by corn borers.
ROS-MOLD 159 SV is suitable for cultivation under various climatic conditions, as confirmed by its inclusion in the State Register for different regions. Its high productivity, disease resistance, and optimal agronomic characteristics make this hybrid an attractive choice for farmers aiming to obtain high-quality grain with good yield and low moisture content at harvest.
