Spring 187 MV — an early-maturing hybrid of sugar corn with FAO 180, developed by the Ukrainian company MAЇS. This variety is distinguished by high adaptability to climatic conditions of the Forest-Steppe and Polissia regions, demonstrating stable yield even under stressful factors such as low temperatures and drought. Plants reach a height of up to 220 cm, and the height of the cylindrical ear attachment is approximately 90 cm. The ear has a large stem diameter and a short peduncle up to 5 cm long, which is characterized by high flexibility and strong attachment, ensuring resistance to lodging.
The grain of the hybrid is dent-shaped, dark-yellow in color, with a high yield — from 81 to 84%. Spring 187 MV possesses high initial growth energy, allowing successful cultivation even with early planting. The hybrid is resistant to major corn diseases such as headworm and corn borer, and it exhibits high heat and drought tolerance with a rating of 8 out of 9. Moreover, the variety is cold-tolerant and can withstand short-term frosts, making it a reliable choice for farmers seeking stable yields under various weather conditions.
Spring 187 MV is recommended for cultivation in the Forest-Steppe and Polissia regions, where it fully realizes its potential. At normal planting density, the plant forms an average of 1.2 productive ears per plant, and at higher density — about one. Thanks to the combination of high yield, resistance to adverse factors, and superior grain quality, this hybrid is a profitable solution for sugar corn production.
