VAR 330 MV is a medium-early simple modified hybrid corn with FAO 330, developed by the Institute of Steppe Agriculture of NAAN Ukraine. It is intended for cultivation in forest-steppe and steppe zones for grain production. Plants reach a height of 240-250 cm, with ear attachment height of 80-90 cm. The ear has a cylindrical shape, 23-24 cm long, with 16-18 rows of kernels and 34-38 kernels per row. The kernel is yellow with red edges, dent-type, with a 1000-kernel weight of 310-330 g. Plant density before harvest varies from 70-75 thousand plants/ha in forest-steppe to 45-50 thousand plants/ha in steppe.
The hybrid is characterized by high resistance to lodging (8.5 points), cold resistance (8 points), drought resistance (8.5 points), as well as high resistance to major diseases (9 points) and pest damage (8.5 points). Potential grain yield reaches 10-11 t/ha. VAR 330 MV exhibits intensive grain moisture release, which reduces drying costs. The hybrid responds well to improved growing conditions, ensuring stable and high yields with low grain moisture in commercial plantings.
Hybrid seeds are coated with Maxim 025 and a biostimulator with eco-friendly paint without polymers, enhancing their protection and quality. Packaging is done in paper bags of 25 kg. VAR 330 MV is suitable for cultivation on various agrofunds and ensures high seed productivity of hybridization plots, making it a reliable choice for farmers seeking stable and high corn yields.
