Prospects of introduction of corn in the conditions of monsoon climate of Sakhalin
The possibility and prospects of corn varieties and hybrids (with FAO from 100 to 300) introduction to the southern part of Sakhalin Island is proved with the aim of continuous green feeding mass system enhancement for highly productive livestock breeding. Based on the results of agro-ecological testing of 33 varieties of domestic and foreign corn selections the most promising for fodder and grain cultivation in monsoon climate conditions are the following: Krasnodar 194 MV, LG 3258, Aalvito, Birsu, Guran, Slavyanka, Mashuk 175 MV, Bemo 182 SV, hybrids of “DuPont Pioneer” company. Based on the corn of Birsu brand the highly productive and multi-component agrophytocenoses technological methods have been developed ensuring to yield from one hectare: green mass - 52.3-61.1 tons; dry matter - 9.7-12.0; crude protein - 0.69-1.15; feed units - 9.1-10.6 thousand and exchange energy - 82-108 GJ.
