Jurmala

Optimized yield for the fresh and processing market

The 'Yurmala' corn hybrid by VNIS is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to balance high output with consistent quality in the medium-ripening segment. With a maturation period of 70–75 days, it fits perfectly into professional crop rotations, allowing for predictable harvesting schedules and efficient logistics management.

Resilience and Crop Protection

One of the primary benefits of Yurmala is its robust genetic resistance to common corn pathogens. In intensive farming systems, where pressure from diseases like boil smut, fusarium, and helminthosporium can significantly reduce profits, Yurmala provides a crucial layer of security. Its high resistance to these diseases allows growers to reduce the reliance on intensive fungicide programs, making the production process more sustainable and cost-effective.

Key Specifications for Efficient Operations

• Marketable Quality: The ears grow to a length of 22–23 cm with 14–18 rows of kernels, providing an excellent visual appeal that meets high standards for supermarket chains and premium wholesale markets.
• Versatile Processing: Being a Super Sweet (SH2) variety, it is equally suitable for the fresh market, deep freezing, or industrial canning, maintaining its sweetness and texture throughout the supply chain.
• Agronomic Performance: With a plant height of 160–250 cm, it is well-suited for standard cultivation practices, ensuring ease of management throughout the growing cycle.

Choosing Yurmala means investing in a hybrid that guarantees reliable performance. The combination of its SH2 endosperm type and structural integrity allows for long-distance transport and successful long-term storage in processed forms. It is a preferred variety for growers who supply both fresh produce wholesalers and food processing facilities that demand consistent grain quality and high sugar content.
