Corn hybrid VORONEZH 158 SV is an early-maturing F1 hybrid developed at the Voronezh Experimental Station of the Federal State Budgetary Research Institution VNIIS. This grain corn variety is characterized by high yield and adaptability to various climatic conditions, enabling successful cultivation in different regions of Russia, including the Northwestern, Central, Volga-Vyatka, Middle Volga, West Siberian, and Far Eastern regions. The plant has medium height — from 230 to 250 cm, with ears 18-21 cm long and slightly conical shape. The 1000-grain weight is about 250 g, indicating good seed quality.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to southern helminthosporiosis, as well as low susceptibility to powdery mildew and bacterial disease. Additionally, the variety is resistant to stem breakage below the ear, which helps preserve yield and facilitates harvesting. Maximum grain yield reaches 11 tons per hectare, and dry matter yield — 20 tons per hectare, making VORONEZH 158 SV an attractive choice for agricultural producers.
In terms of chemical composition, the corn grain contains 8.00% protein, 71.27% starch, 1.30% sugar, 3.12% fat, 1.49% fiber, and 1.09% ash. These parameters make the variety versatile for use as grain and silage, which is particularly important for animal feed. The recommended plant population is 75-80 thousand per hectare, ensuring optimal development and maximum yield.
