Maize Turia

A Reliable Standard in Ukrainian Selection

The «Turiya» hybrid is a cornerstone of domestic breeding, developed by the Institute of Grain Crops of the NAAS. It has established itself as a versatile, predictable solution for farmers prioritizing consistency across diverse climatic conditions. As a simple, dent-type hybrid, Turiya remains a staple for producers balancing grain production with high-quality silage requirements.

Agronomic Robustness and Resistance

Turiya is engineered to thrive under pressure, offering strong innate defenses against major threats common to corn production:

• Disease Resistance: Exhibits significant tolerance to common smut (Ustilago maydis).
• Pathogen Control: Demonstrates strong resistance against stalk smut, fusarium, and rust.
• Pest Resilience: Its genetic composition provides a substantial barrier against the European corn borer, reducing the need for aggressive insecticide programs.

Operational Efficiency and Use

With an FAO rating of 90–1240, this hybrid is designed for efficiency. The dent-type grain excels in moisture release at maturity, minimizing post-harvest drying costs. Simultaneously, its massive vegetative development makes it a top-tier choice for silage production, providing livestock with highly digestible and nutrient-dense forage. Turiya represents a time-tested, practical approach to diversified crop management, where the certainty of yield is paramount.
