Maize Sidoriv 251 MV

Genetic Potential and Protection

The «Sidoriv 251 MV» corn hybrid by «Rasava» is a mid-early dent corn hybrid designed for stable grain production. The key technological advantage of this hybrid is its pronounced resistance to a complex of pathogens that traditionally reduce the profitability of corn production in Ukraine.

Phytosanitary Barriers

«Rasava» selection focuses on building-in resistance mechanisms. «Sidoriv 251 MV» effectively resists aggressive infections:

• Root and stalk rots: A dense stem structure and a well-developed root system minimize the risk of lodging at the end of the vegetation period.
• Smut diseases: High resistance to common smut and head smut allows for reduced fungicide application costs.
• Foliar infections: Genetic protection against helminthosporiosis and rust ensures the preservation of leaf surface for full grain filling.

Technological Parameters

The simple hybrid type guarantees crop uniformity and predictable maturation within 90-100 days. An FAO rating in the 250 range makes it an optimal choice for most agro-climatic zones of Ukraine. The dent grain shape provides rapid moisture release, which is critical during autumn harvesting.

Planting Density Recommendations

To achieve target yields under intensive cultivation technologies, the recommended harvest density is 60,000–70,000 plants per hectare. These indicators ensure a balance between the nutrient supply for each plant and efficient field area utilization.
