Sugarcane corn MAS 440D is a high-yielding, mid-late maturing hybrid with FAO 440, developed for intensive cultivation technologies, including irrigated conditions. This hybrid is characterized by high adaptability to various climatic conditions and ensures excellent yield due to its drought tolerance, lodging resistance, and stable growth. Plant height is medium-high, and the kernel type is dent, which promotes good moisture shedding and maintains optimal grain moisture at harvest.
The MAS 440D hybrid features rapid maturation and high efficiency in utilizing active temperatures: the sum of active temperatures until grain maturity is approximately 1970 °C, ensuring timely maturation and high-quality harvest. The ear has 18 rows with 32-36 kernels per row, contributing to high density and quality of kernels. Recommended planting density varies depending on moisture conditions: 75-85 thousand plants per hectare in well-watered zones and 60-70 thousand in less watered zones.
MAS 440D seed production is carried out by the French breeding company Mas Seeds, ensuring high quality and compliance with international standards. This hybrid is suitable for grain production and exhibits excellent initial growth energy, providing rapid start and development of plants. MAS 440D is an optimal choice for farms aiming to achieve high and stable yields of corn with excellent agronomic traits.
