DMC Saffron

Consistent Yields for Industrial Processing

The "DMS Shafran" hybrid, developed by the Ukrainian scientific-production enterprise "Mais" (NVFG «Компанія Маїс»), is a specialized sweet corn variety engineered specifically for the industrial processing sector. Unlike general-purpose varieties, this hybrid is designed to perform under professional agricultural conditions, offering reliability for those focused on frozen produce markets.

Technical Specifications and Field Performance

The hybrid reaches a height of 190-200 cm, with cobs forming at 70-80 cm, making it perfectly suited for mechanized harvesting. Its genetic resistance to common corn blights—specifically loose and boil smut—is a key factor in reducing crop protection costs and ensuring a cleaner, high-quality final product.

• Vegetation Cycle: 90-95 days, providing a predictable schedule for harvesting and processing logistics.
• Planting Density: Highly flexible, the hybrid performs well at densities ranging from 55,000 to 90,000 plants per hectare, depending on irrigation and soil management strategies.
• Processing Quality: The grain maintains excellent structural integrity and sweetness during deep-freezing, meeting the strict requirements of food production plants.

Why Choose DMS Shafran?

The strength of the DMS Shafran lies in its balance between high yield potential and resistance to pathogens. It is an optimal choice for large-scale operations supplying canning factories or frozen vegetable manufacturers. While the hybrid is robust, growers should note that it requires strict attention to harvest timing; like most high-sugar varieties, waiting too long post-maturity can diminish the sugar content and grain texture.

For professional farmers seeking a reliable, high-yield hybrid with predictable agronomic markers, DMS Shafran is a proven asset in the Ukrainian agricultural landscape.
