Maize Torrano

Torrano corn hybrid is a mid-season simple hybrid with a maturity unit (FAO) of 370, corresponding to average maturity. Plants reach a height of 250 to 290 cm, and during maximum growth can reach up to three meters. The stem exhibits high resistance to lodging and root lodging, despite its significant height. The leaf apparatus is strong, dark green, semi-erect type, which promotes effective photosynthesis and plant development. Ears have a weak-conical shape, up to 25 cm long, with good kernel set and contain 540 to 680 kernels arranged in 16-18 rows with 34-38 kernels per row.

Torrano hybrid kernels are dent type, yellow, characterized by large size and 1000-kernel weight ranging from 320-370 grams. The hybrid is characterized by high potential grain yield, reaching 155-160 c/ha under optimal growing conditions. It quickly sheds moisture during maturation, facilitating harvest and reducing yield losses. Recommended plant density before harvest is 65-70 thousand plants per hectare in forest-steppe zone and 50-55 thousand plants per hectare in steppe zone.

Torrano exhibits high resistance to major corn diseases such as helminthosporiosis, fusarium, and common rust, as well as tolerance to corn borer infestations. The hybrid tolerates spring frosts and drought throughout the entire vegetation period, making it a versatile and reliable choice for various climatic conditions. Additionally, it provides high dry matter yield and good digestibility when used for silage, expanding its application possibilities in agriculture.
