The maize hybrid Szegedi 386 belongs to mid-early maturing varieties with FAO 390 and is intended for grain and silage production. The vegetation period ranges from 120 to 131 days, and the grain color is yellow dent. This hybrid is characterized by high potential yield: under production conditions, it reaches 9.5 to 12.6 tons per hectare, and on variety trial plots — up to 13.6 tons per hectare. The seeds of Szegedi 386 are treated with fungicides and insecticides, providing additional protection for plants in early growth stages.
One of the key features of the hybrid is its high stress resistance, rated at 8 points, as well as excellent cold and drought resistance, rated at 9 and 8 points respectively. Szegedi 386 demonstrates intensive early growth and high resistance to spring frosts, making it a reliable choice for regions with variable climatic conditions. Additionally, the hybrid has high resistance to lodging (9 points), which helps preserve the yield and simplifies harvesting.
The hybrid Szegedi 386 is also advantageous from an agronomic standpoint due to its rapid moisture release, reducing costs for post-harvest grain drying. The recommended planting density depends on soil moisture levels: in areas with adequate moisture — 60-65 thousand plants per hectare, in areas with insufficient moisture — 55-60 thousand. Due to the combination of high yield, resistance to adverse factors, and ease of agronomic management, Szegedi 386 is an effective and reliable hybrid for maize cultivation.
