UNIION VP

UNIION VP is a mid-season hybrid of sweet corn with a maturity period of 80-85 days, intended for cultivation in forest-steppe and steppe zones. Plants reach a height of 240-250 cm and exhibit high lodging resistance, ensuring stable and high yields under various climatic conditions. Ears are 20-25 cm long, the grain is large, orange-yellow, dented, and elongated, with a clearly defined depression at the tip. The 1000-grain weight is 310-330 g, indicating high grain density and quality. The hybrid is characterized by high resistance to adverse factors: cold and drought tolerance are rated 8-8.5 points, while disease and pest resistance reaches 8.5-9 points. This makes UNIION VP a reliable choice for farmers seeking maximum yield with minimal risks. Potential grain yield reaches 13.0 t/ha, and silage yield reaches 55.0–75.0 t/ha, expanding the possibilities for using the hybrid for both grain and fodder purposes. UNIION VP is a simple inter-line hybrid developed jointly by the Institute of Agriculture of the Steppe Zone of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine and the company MTH Mais Technologic International GmbH. It is suitable for both industrial cultivation and garden-use. Thanks to its characteristics and stable yield, this hybrid is widely used in agriculture, including for the production of brewing raw materials.
