Maize VORONEZH 197 SV

VORONEZH 197 SV — this is a three-line hybrid corn, developed at the Voronezh branch of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution (FGBINI) Corn Research Institute. The hybrid belongs to mid-early and early-maturing varieties, allowing it to be effectively used in various climatic conditions, including steppe, forest-steppe zones, and the Polesie region. Plants are of medium height, non-compact, and exhibit good resistance to lodging, which helps preserve yield and simplifies harvesting.

The hybrid is distinguished by high drought resistance and cold tolerance, making it a reliable choice for regions with variable climates. It shows moderate resistance to stalk rot and southern corn smut, as well as resistance to southern helminthosporiosis. However, it is susceptible to bacterial disease and moderately affected by ear and stalk corn borer. These characteristics should be considered when planning crop protection.

VORONEZH 197 SV is intended for cultivation both for grain and silage, expanding its application in agriculture. The hybrid's yield is high and stable: in the Volga region, it reached 75.7 c/ha, in the Central region — 103.0 c/ha, and in the Central Chernozem region — 148.3 c/ha based on normalized dry matter. The hybrid meets modern cultivation technologies, making it popular among agricultural enterprises.
