ZANGANO

German genetics for stable grain production

The «Zangano» maize hybrid, introduced by KWS in 2025, is engineered for intensive grain cultivation in the Forest-Steppe and Polissya regions. As a mid-maturing hybrid, it stands out due to its robust morphology: a tall, vigorous plant with broad leaves that maximizes photosynthetic efficiency, paired with a large-diameter ear that ensures high grain weight.

Key development characteristics

Unlike many standard hybrids, «Zangano» demonstrates superior adaptability to local environmental conditions. Its physiological profile indicates balanced growth:

• Growth Energy: Strong anthocyanin coloration of the first leaf sheath and moderate leaf margin waviness indicate excellent early-season vigor.
• Plant Architecture: The low insertion height of the top ear, combined with the plant's overall height, provides excellent lodging resistance and facilitates efficient mechanical harvesting.
• Ear Morphology: A medium-length ear with a large diameter allows for heavy, well-filled grain, which is critical for achieving high yield potential.

Officially registered in 2025, «Zangano» has proven its performance in field trials. The absence of stem zigzagging and moderate anthocyanin coloration of aerial roots highlight its genetic stability and resilience to environmental stress. For farmers seeking a predictable, high-yielding grain hybrid without unnecessary risks, «Zangano» is a top-tier choice.
