(Baonghean.vn) -Today, December 26, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development coordinated with the People's Committee of Dien Chau district to organize a workshop to evaluate the results of the demonstration model of VS36 hybrid corn. This is a single hybrid corn variety selected and created by the Maize Research Institute, recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development for trial production in corn areas in the northern provinces and copyrighted by Thai Binh Seed Corporation.
Testing the effectiveness of corn varieties in the field
VS36 corn variety has a growing period of 95 - 105 days in the autumn-winter crop, has a wide adaptability and is drought-resistant, cold-resistant, has a stable yield, reaching an average of 75 tons/ha and in good intensive farming conditions can reach 90 - 110 tons/ha. This is the second crop, this corn variety has been tested in Nghe An. According to the report of Dien Chau Agricultural Extension Station, this crop, the experimental planting areas can reach 5.5 - 6 tons/ha, 5 - 10% higher than other varieties of the same tea currently produced locally, the growing period is 3 - 5 days shorter than other varieties. This is a favorable condition for the production structure of 3 crops per year.
At the workshop, delegates agreed that VS36 is a domestic hybrid corn variety, so the production cost is lower than other hybrid corn varieties, and the economic efficiency is also higher than other corn varieties on the same area. It is recommended to continue testing on different land and seasons to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness across the province./.
