ROSS 195 MV is an early-maturing corn (Zea mays L.) hybrid designed for cultivation in various regions of Russia, including Central, Volga-Vyatka, Central Chernozem, Middle Volga, Ural, and West Siberian. The hybrid’s vegetation period is 95-96 days, corresponding to FAO 180. The plant is of medium height — approximately 220-225 cm — with toothed, yellow kernels in the upper part of the ear. The ear is of medium length, thick, and slightly conical, with a short stalk and colored core. The tassel is characterized by early flowering, with the main axis higher than lateral branches, medium or large angular shape, and weak anthocyanic silk coloring. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to adverse conditions, including cold tolerance, drought resistance, and lodging resistance. It shows resistance to southern helminthosporiosis, is lightly affected by common smut and ear fusarium, ensuring stable yields. However, the plant may be moderately damaged by corn borer. ROSS 195 MV is suitable for mechanized harvesting, facilitating agricultural operations and increasing production efficiency. Yield varies by region: average grain yield reaches 67.8 c/ha in the Central Chernozem region, and normalized dry matter yield — up to 142 c/ha. In the Central region, normalized dry matter yield is about 83.4 c/ha, in the Middle Volga — 107.6 c/ha, and in the West Siberian region — 74.5 c/ha, exceeding standard benchmarks. The hybrid is recommended for grain and silage use, making it a versatile choice for agricultural enterprises focused on both grain and silage production.
