Corn Julia FAO 340, Kharkiv region.

Universal direction of use 

High resistance to powdery mildew diseases 

Highly profitable seed production

Simple modified mid-ripening hybrid (FAO 340).

Listed in the Register of Varieties since 2017.

Direction of use -grain,silage.

The plant is 250-270 cm tall, does not bush.

The height of the cob attachment is 100-110 cm. The cob is 22-24 cm long, cylindrical in shape, the number of rows of grains is 16, the stem is red.

Grain yield is 80-82%.

The grain is yellow-orange, toothed.

The weight of 1000 grains is 320-350 g.

The intensive type hybrid responds well to improving growing conditions, unlike Monika 350 MV, it tolerates drought quite well and has a more stable grain yield over the years.

It is characterized by resistance to stem lodging, but with the formation of excessive length of plants, it can sometimes have a slight vegetative lodging, resistant to the impact of powdery mildew diseases and tolerant to colonization by corn moth and cotton bollworm.

Cultivation zone – Steppe, Forest Steppe.

The recommended pre-harvest density of plants in the Steppe zone is 50-55 thousand units/ha, in the Forest-Steppe 70-75.

According to the data of 12 points of environmental testing, the grain yield averaged 7.19 t/ha in 2015, and 10.52 t/ha in 2016, which is 0.25 and 1.32 t/ha more than the Monika 350 MV hybrid, with a 2% lower grain moisture content.

The maximum yield and grain yield on the bogar is 11.79 t/ha.

Peculiarities of seed production. Compared to hybrids Monika 350 MV and Zaporizhia 333 MV, which are close in terms of genetics, F1 has significantly better seed production.

Seeds in the hybridization areas are grown on a sterile basis according to the scheme of full recovery. The scheme of sowing parental components on the hybridization site is 6:2 or 4:2, simultaneous sowing, synchronization in the flowering of the parental components of the hybrid is good. According to the results of the tests in 2014-2016, the average yield of the parent component was 4.95 t/ha, and the moisture content of the grain was 17.5%.
