Kharkiv Feed Millet

Reliable feed base from the Yuriev Institute

The "Kharkivske Kormove" variety has firmly established itself in Ukrainian crop rotations as one of the most stable millet cultivars. Developed by breeders at the V. Ya. Yuriev Plant Production Institute of NAAS, this variety is tailored for those who prioritize yield predictability and crop resilience against environmental stressors.

Field performance and resilience

The key argument for choosing "Kharkivske Kormove" is its high resistance to lodging. For agronomists, this means the possibility of direct combining without critical grain losses, significantly reducing harvesting costs. The variety displays robust immunological defense, successfully resisting smut diseases, which eliminates the need for excessive fungicide applications during the growing season.

• Stability: Genetic lodging resistance ensures crops can withstand strong winds and heavy rainfall, keeping the stalks upright until threshing.
• Crop Protection: A high resistance threshold against smut infections guarantees commercial grain quality, meeting the standards for both livestock and poultry feed.
• Practicality: The variety responds well to standard agronomic practices, making it a reliable tool for efficient feed production management.

Why choose this variety?

"Kharkivske Kormove" is selected by farmers who need a dependable, "hard-working" variety capable of performing well in challenging weather. It is a balanced choice for operations specializing in forage grain production. The lack of grain shattering and high disease resistance allow for flexible harvest scheduling, enabling better optimization of machinery use during peak seasonal periods.
