Maize Adenora

French Breeding for Consistent Yields

The maize hybrid 'Adenora' by Caussade Semences is a testament to European breeding standards, specifically designed for intensive farming systems. Developed in collaboration with renowned originators, including Lidea France and Pierre Garraud, this simple hybrid occupies a niche for versatile solutions, performing equally well for high-quality grain production and nutritious silage.

Agronomic Profile and Adaptability

The maturity period for 'Adenora' ranges from 120 to 140 days, placing it within the mid-season maturity group (FAO 90–1240). Its characteristic flint-dent grain type ensures a perfect balance between high yield potential and efficient dry-down during ripening. French genetics are traditionally recognized for their robust pathogen resistance: this hybrid demonstrates high tolerance to common smut and field-proven resistance to fusarium and stem smut.

Cultivation Guidelines

To fully leverage the hybrid's genetic potential, the manufacturer recommends maintaining an optimal plant density at harvest:

• 60,000–65,000 plants/ha — for regions with limited moisture availability;
• 70,000–75,000 plants/ha — for well-irrigated or high-moisture soil conditions.

'Adenora' is the choice for agronomists prioritizing predictability and reliability. Backed by the expertise of institutions like Caussade Semences and Lidea, this hybrid has proven its performance across diverse European and international fields, mitigating disease-related risks and adapting effectively to various climatic zones.
