Zdobutok

Stable yields in challenging conditions: the "Zdobutok" hybrid

In modern Ukrainian agriculture, where climate risks dictate profitability, choosing a maize hybrid requires a pragmatic approach. The "Zdobutok" hybrid, developed by the "Agro-industrial company Mais," is designed for farms that prioritize predictability and adaptability.

Agronomic potential and specifications

This simple, dent-type grain hybrid belongs to the long-maturation segment (160–180 days, FAO 90–1240). Its biological traits ensure high plasticity under various cultivation technologies. The primary utility of this hybrid lies in producing commercial grain and high-quality silage.

A key competitive advantage of "Zdobutok" is its genetically determined resistance to the most common pathogens and pests:

• High threshold of resistance to helminthosporiosis.
• Immunity to head smut and common smut of maize.
• Resistance to the stem borer (Sesamia genus), which is critical for reducing the chemical load on crops.

Practical planting recommendations

To fully realize the hybrid's genetic potential, the manufacturer recommends maintaining the optimal plant density at harvest:

• 65,000–70,000 plants per hectare in areas with sufficient moisture or irrigation.
• 60,000–65,000 plants per hectare in water-limited zones.

The reputation of "Zdobutok" is built on reliability. It is an ideal choice for producers who need to balance high yield metrics with minimized risk of crop loss due to disease. The hybrid fits perfectly into crop rotation schemes for operations focused on intensive livestock farming (silage) and commercial grain production.
