SY Vestas

Corn SY Vestas is a medium-early hybrid with FAO 270 developed by Syngenta. This variety is based on genetically modified plants and is intended for cultivation in various climatic zones of Ukraine, including Polissia, forest-steppe, and steppe. Due to its adaptability, SY Vestas demonstrates high and stable yields under diverse soil-climatic conditions, making it a universal choice for farmers.

The hybrid features rapid growth during early vegetative stages and efficient water-excreting ability during grain maturation. The dent-type grain contains a high protein content (8.8–9.2 %) and starch (72.8–73.5 %), ensuring good crop quality. The average grain yield at harvest ranges from 79.2 to 81.9 %. SY Vestas exhibits drought resistance as well as resistance to diseases such as helminthosporiosis, stalk rot, powdery mildew, and fusarium, which contributes to maintaining yields under challenging conditions.

For successful cultivation, early sowing is recommended at soil temperatures of +6...8 °C, with seed planting depth. The hybrid is suitable for repeated cultivation on the same field, which is convenient for monoculture management. Optimal planting density depends on the cultivation zone: up to 75,000 plants per hectare in Polissia, 55–70,000 in forest-steppe, and 40–50,000 in steppe. SY Vestas is suitable for both commercial and home cultivation, providing tasty and nutritious cobs with high natural sugar and B-group vitamin content, beneficial for the nervous system.
