AFK Grouz — mid-early hybrid sweet corn with FAO 260, developed by Maïs and recommended for cultivation in the forest-steppe and Polissia regions of Ukraine. This hybrid is distinguished by an optimal combination of high yield and low grain moisture at harvest, making it popular among farmers across various regions of the country, including Dnipro, Poltava, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Ternopil, and Vinnytsia. Thanks to its compact leaf-stem apparatus, AFK Grouz demonstrates moderate drought resistance, enabling stable yields even under water deficit conditions. For example, in the dry year of 2020, the hybrid provided farmers with a decent harvest, and in the cold and rainy 2023, grain was harvested at a moisture level of only 14.5%.
The AFK Grouz hybrid is especially valued for its rapid water release and high adaptability to the climatic conditions of the forest-steppe and Polissia regions. The average yield across Ukraine ranges from 10 to 13 tons per hectare, confirming its efficiency and stability. In addition, the hybrid exhibits good resistance to various diseases, reducing the risk of losses and improving the quality of the harvest.
AFK Grouz seeds are suitable for farmers seeking a reliable mid-early corn hybrid with optimal agronomic characteristics. Due to its properties, this hybrid is successfully grown in various climatic zones of Ukraine, ensuring high productivity and grain quality with minimal investment in crop care and protection.
