The new maize hybrids for silage

Maize is considered an unsurpassed silage crop, so breeding in this direction of great relevance. The study was carried out at the FSBSI «Agricultural Research Center «Donskoy» 2019–2021. purpose to productivity and nutritional value new hybrid combinations, identify dependencies optimize process. In order develop hybrids, there applied method interline hybridization using heterosis first generation. objects research were 24 hybrids early-maturing, middle-early middle-maturing groups. each group, have been identified combinations that are found promising for cultivation green fodder. early-maturing a ‘Krucha M × KV 215’ formed largest mass (28.2 t/ha) dry matter (9.41 t/ha). had 6.56 t feed units per 1 ha, 0.48 digestible protein 90.0 GJ/ha exchange energy. x KV399 MV’ produced 29.4 t/ha mass, 10.35 matter, 7.49 fodder 0.57 protein, 96.14 best ‘KV 399 9837V’, which highest rates among all studied. 7.88 0.64 98.64 There signs should be used development selection maize silage, such as plant height, cob attachment number leaves plant, length vegetation period.
