Maize UNI3616

Focus on Dent Grain: The Potential of UNI3616

For grain producers, choosing a hybrid is essentially a matter of yield mathematics. The UNI3616 corn by North American Plant Genetics (originator Eric Rvan) was engineered specifically as a high-performance tool for maximizing grain output.

Why choose this hybrid?

The standout feature of this model is its dent-type grain. In the field, this provides a distinct advantage during maturation: these hybrids release moisture faster at the end of the season, which is crucial for reducing drying costs. The use of UNI3616 is ideal for farming operations focused on storing dry commercial grain with minimal energy expenditure at the elevator.

Agronomic Application Scenarios

• Intensive Farming: The hybrid responds exceptionally well to high fertility levels, unlocking its genetic potential in fertile soils when planted at optimal densities.
• Technological Discipline: Because the originator, Eric Rvan, built this hybrid with a strong focus on productivity, it requires early-stage weed control to ensure that nothing restricts the development of its vigorous leaf canopy.
• Harvest Efficiency: Designed for grain production, it is best harvested using modern combines with appropriate headers. The dent structure facilitates easy threshing, significantly reducing the percentage of grain damage as it passes through the threshing mechanism.

Selecting UNI3616 is a pragmatic choice for farmers who prioritize predictable results and strive to optimize logistics and post-harvest grain handling costs.
