Maize 117 CB 343

French Breeding for High Productivity

The 117 CB 343 hybrid from Lidea is the result of years of research and development by the originator «Rustica Seeds», aimed at achieving maximum returns per hectare. France has traditionally set the benchmark in European agronomy, and this hybrid is a prime example of the adaptability and potential integrated into Lidea’s modern maize programs.

Versatility as a Key Asset

The 117 CB 343 model is positioned as a solution for farms that prefer not to be limited by a single specialization. Thanks to its biological architecture, the hybrid demonstrates impressive results in three key areas:

• Grain Production: high test weight and excellent moisture dry-down rates, which reduce post-harvest processing costs.
• Forage Production: an optimal ratio of vegetative mass to ear size makes it an excellent choice for silage purposes.
• Universal Use: performance stability across various climatic zones allows for strategic planning of acreage with flexibility in final product use.

Lidea’s reputation in the global market is backed by a scientific approach to breeding, where each hybrid undergoes rigorous selection for pathogen resistance and climatic stress tolerance. For agronomists, choosing 117 CB 343 means investing in proven French genetics that ensure predictable outcomes, even under intensive cultivation systems.
