Maize RV 197

Stable Yields in Short Growing Seasons

The RV 197 maize hybrid is a technical solution for farming operations in regions with a limited vegetative period. With an FAO rating of 197, this hybrid exhibits high ripening speed, enabling farmers to plan early harvesting and clear fields for subsequent crops without the risk of seasonal delays.

Practical Implementation and Agrotechnology

• Grain Production focus: Developed by the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Corn, this hybrid is designed specifically for high-quality grain yield. It is characterized by rapid moisture loss, which is critical for reducing post-harvest drying costs.
• Simple hybrid structure: The consistent genetics of the simple hybrid type ensure crop uniformity. This simplifies combine harvester settings and minimizes losses during mechanized harvesting.
• Resilience: The hybrid is well-adapted to specific climatic conditions, showing good tolerance to temperature fluctuations during the spring, which allows for early planting and ensures a vigorous start for the crop.

The practical scenario for using RV 197 is building a structured harvest conveyor. It is preferred for fields where risk mitigation related to early frost is necessary, as well as for farmers aiming to achieve high-quality grain with minimal impurities due to synchronized ripening and high early growth energy.
