Maize VORONEZH 182 MV

Stable silage production for short-growing seasons

«Voronezhsky 182 MV» is a product of collaboration between the All-Russian Research Institute of Corn and Agrogibrid, specifically designed for regions with limited thermal resources. Unlike mid-season hybrids that require a long heat accumulation period, this three-line modified hybrid with an FAO of 180 provides consistency where other varieties often struggle to reach maturity before the first frost.

Key advantages

• Early maturity as a defense strategy: Early harvesting allows growers to avoid autumn temperature drops, which is essential for consistent silage quality.
• Pathogen resistance: Built-in resistance to fusarium and common smut significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, optimizing production costs.
• Agronomic flexibility: The dent-type grain, combined with vigorous biomass development, results in high-quality silage with an excellent starch content, making it highly suitable for cattle diets.

Who is this hybrid for?

«Voronezhsky 182 MV» is an essential tool for livestock farms operating in areas with unstable moisture and cooler climates. While it may not compete for top-tier grain yields in hot, southern regions, it serves as a reliable “insurance policy” for fodder production in Central regions and further north. Its versatility covers both heavy silage harvesting and forage grain production for a balanced farm ration.

Strengths: high tolerance to major diseases, predictable growth cycles, and suitability for mechanized harvesting. Weaknesses: lower yield potential in prolonged hot summer conditions compared to late-maturing alternatives.
