Maize SAT 265 MV

Working with SAT 265 MV

As a modified simple hybrid with a mid-early maturity timeline, it allows for streamlined harvest scheduling. The dent-type grain, with its yellow-orange color and conical-cylindrical shape, is well-adapted for efficient threshing with standard harvesting equipment.

Resilience and Crop Protection

From an operator's perspective, the strength of SAT 265 MV lies in its genetic resistance to major field diseases. This significantly reduces the need for aggressive fungicide applications.

• Common smut (Ustilago maydis) — showing excellent natural resistance.
• Fusarium ear rot and stalk rot — the plants remain sturdy until harvest, preventing lodging even under adverse late-season conditions.

The work of the originators (Ignatenko A.I., Aglotkov M.V.) in building resistance to helminthosporiosis and stem smut of onion ensures that the crop maintains high health standards throughout the growing season.

Sowing Strategy and Yield Optimization

Managing the plant density is key to maximizing the potential of SAT 265 MV. Depending on your soil productivity and moisture availability:

• On high-potential sites, target 65,000–70,000 plants/ha to fully utilize the ear development potential.
• In areas with more restricted resources, lowering the density to 50,000–55,000 plants/ha maintains stable productivity without sacrificing quality.

SAT 265 MV is an excellent choice for growers looking for a balanced, low-stress crop. The dent grain type ensures good moisture dry-down rates at maturity, which helps minimize post-harvest drying costs. For anyone searching for a predictable hybrid with strong agronomic traits, this product from Ooo Sativa remains a professional-grade choice.
