Elitnianskyi

Corn Zea mays L.

A new-generation highly adaptable hybrid. Among the best ones in terms of rapid water-yielding, yield capacity and resistance to stressors

Originator - Plant Production Institute named after V.Ya. Yuriev of NAAS.

Included in the Register of Ukraine - 2019.

Recommended zones of cultivation: Steppe and Forest-Steppe.

Variety - ssp. indentata.

The plant height is 240-270 cm. The cob attachment height is 95-100 cm. The leaf number per plant is 16-17. The cob length is 24-26 cm. The number of grain rows is 18. The grain output is 84-86%. The cob rhachis is red. The 1000-seed weight is 270-280 g.

Ripeness group – mid-early FAO 270. The "seedlings-full maturity" period is 110-112 days. The initial growth is rapid. Cold tolerance is high. Drought resistance is high. Resistance to loose smut is high. Resistance to boil smut is high. Resistance to stem rot is high. Resistance to corn borer is high.

The potential grain yield is 11.0-11.5 t/ha. The recommended harvest density: 60,000-62,000 plants/ha in the Steppe and 62,000-65,000 plants/ha in the Forest-Steppe. The harvest water content is 14-18%. The protein content in grain is 9.2%. The starch content is 75%.

Seed production peculiarities. The seed production of this hybrid is based on M-type sterility according to the complete restoration algorithm, without removing panicles. The optimal sowing arrangement for parents in hybridization plots is 12:4 or 6:2. Hybridization plots require intensive farming, weed control and nutrition.

When grown by intensive farming techniques, the seed yield amounts to 2.0-2.5 t/ha.
