Halardo: A bountiful harvest in every field

When choosing a corn hybrid, the key factors are stability, yield potential, and resistance to stressful conditions. The Ukrainian scientific institute of plant breeding (VNIS) offers a new hybrid, HALARDO (FAO 280), which combines high yield with resistance to diseases and adverse factors. This hybrid is designed to ensure stable results in different agroclimatic zones of Ukraine.

Key characteristics of the HALARDO hybrid

HALARDO is a balanced solution for farmers who value reliability and predictability. The hybrid is distinguished by a combination of characteristics that enable effective farming.

Key advantages

  • High yield potential: HALARDO demonstrates high productivity. The hybrid's yield potential reaches 19 t/ha, and the average yield over the years of testing is 13.2 t/ha, which proves its efficiency and profitability.
  • Excellent lodging resistance: Thanks to its powerful root system and strong stem, the hybrid is characterized by very high lodging resistance. This minimizes losses during harvesting, especially in difficult weather conditions.
  • Resistance to major diseases: HALARDO has high genetic resistance to fusarium and smut, as well as good resistance to helminthosporiosis. This allows you to optimize the cost of fungicide protection for crops.
  • Good drought resistance: The hybrid shows good resistance to drought, effectively using available moisture to form a yield, which is especially important in conditions of insufficient moisture.
