Maize SEVERINA

Technical Potential of the «Severina» Hybrid

The «Severina» three-way maize hybrid, presented by the Selection and Seed Center «Otbor», is engineered for intensive farming practices. Its architectural design is optimized for consistent yields in both grain and silage production, serving as a versatile tool for balanced crop rotation.

Morphological Characteristics and Grain Productivity

The yellow-orange dent-type grain exhibits high density and ideal vitreousness. Early maturity allows for the most efficient use of the active temperature period, mitigating risks during late autumn harvests. The three-way cross breeding strategy provides a pronounced heterosis effect, resulting in highly uniform stands and superior adaptability to fluctuating environmental conditions.

Agrotechnical Advantages

• Phytosanitary Resilience: The hybrid's genetic profile includes high tolerance to maize smut (Ustilago maydis), which is essential for preserving cob integrity and overall grain quality.
• Technological Flexibility: The recommended planting density of 80,000–85,000 plants per hectare ensures that the crop reaches its full cob-forming potential without excessive inter-row competition.
• Usage Versatility: The high energy value of the green biomass makes this hybrid an excellent candidate for livestock farms focused on quality silage, while still providing robust dry grain yields.

«Severina» is designed for agricultural operations where rapid maturity and high yield are non-negotiable. The selection process, taking modern pathogens into account, provides agronomists with the necessary durability and reliability required for farming in variable climate zones.
