Maize SY Rodiens

The hybrid maize SY Rodiens is a mid-season variety intended for grain and silage production. It is characterized by high yield and resistance to various climatic and biological stresses, making it an optimal choice for forest-steppe and steppe zones. The plant features a cream-colored, toothed kernel type, which ensures high starch content in the grain and is suitable for processing into meal. The hybrid exhibits rapid emergence and early development, enabling early planting and high green mass yield per hectare.

SY Rodiens shows high resistance to drought, frost, lodging, and tolerance to major diseases such as ear fusarium, helminthosporiosis, root and stem rot. The Stay Green type plant retains green mass for an extended period, contributing to increased yield and product quality. The hybrid can withstand higher planting density, allowing optimization of planting density according to soil moisture levels.

Recommended planting density varies depending on purpose and growing conditions: under adequate moisture for grain — 80-90 thousand plants per hectare, under insufficient moisture — 55-60 thousand. For silage, these figures are 88-99 thousand and 60-66 thousand respectively. SY Rodiens responds well to application of mineral fertilizers and nutrients, which helps maximize its yield potential. Manufacturer — Syngenta, which ensures high quality seed material.
