Maize Talan

Consistent Yields in Changing Climates

The «Talan» maize variety by NVKF Selekta is a strategic choice for growers who value stability and resilience over complex, high-input hybrid management. In an era of unpredictable weather patterns, this variety remains a reliable workhorse, demonstrating high physiological robustness against major agricultural pathogens.

Superior Sanitary Performance

One of the primary challenges in commercial maize production is the prevalence of smut diseases. «Talan» stands out due to its inherent genetic resistance to common and head smut. This trait acts as a natural shield, effectively reducing the dependency on aggressive chemical treatments and safeguarding the final grain quality during the maturation phase.

Core Technical Specifications

• Maturity Group: 100–110 days. This mid-early maturity window is ideal for managing harvesting logistics and avoiding the risks associated with late autumn rains.
• Grain Type: Flint-dent. This grain morphology ensures optimal test weight and excellent milling characteristics, making it highly suitable for both industrial processing and animal feed production.
• Planting Density: With a recommended range of 65,000 to 80,000 plants per hectare, «Talan» allows for precise agronomic management. Higher densities (75-80k) unlock maximum yield potential in fertile soils, while lower densities (65-70k) ensure performance in moisture-stressed regions.

Why Choose «Talan»? This variety is perfectly suited for operations that prioritize yield reliability and grain quality. It is a classic choice for those who need a low-maintenance, high-performance crop that consistently delivers on productivity targets without requiring excessive technological overhead.
