Maize Survivor

DOW AgroSciences genetics: A legacy of performance

The «Survivor» corn hybrid, developed by DOW AgroSciences, represents a strategic choice for producers looking for high-performance, US-bred genetics. As a single-cross hybrid, it offers remarkable uniformity across the field, which is a significant advantage for modern mechanized harvesting and ensures consistent stand density. This uniformity is a hallmark of the DOW AgroSciences breeding program, designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional agriculture.

Dual-purpose adaptability

What sets «Survivor» apart in the competitive corn market is its dual-purpose capability. Featuring a flint-type grain, it excels both in commercial grain production, where starch content and quality are paramount, and in silage production. For mixed-use farms, this flexibility is a massive operational asset, allowing for data-driven decisions on whether to harvest for grain or preserve for high-energy silage based on current seasonal conditions and feed requirements.

Resilience and field safety

In terms of crop protection, «Survivor» is built to withstand environmental and biological pressures. Its notable resistance to common smut (Ustilago maydis) minimizes the need for excessive chemical intervention, making it a sustainable choice for integrated pest management programs. By mitigating the risk of pathogen-related yield loss, this hybrid provides an essential layer of security for the grower. With its reliable genetics, «Survivor» continues to be a go-to solution for farmers who prioritize consistent yield potential and agronomic stability in their crop production cycle.
