AGN340

Reliable grain performance in moderate climates

The AGN340 maize hybrid from American Genetics is a specialized tool for farmers aiming for high-quality grain yields. Developed by Dr. Pavlos Zouliamis, this hybrid is renowned for its adaptability to environmental stressors, making it a reliable choice for regions facing unstable rainfall and temperature fluctuations.

Agronomic profile and disease resistance

A primary advantage of the AGN340 lies in its genetic resistance to common diseases that often cause significant crop loss. The hybrid exhibits high tolerance to loose smut and common smut. Notably, its resistance to the European corn borer significantly reduces the need for intensive insecticide applications and helps maintain stem integrity through the harvest season.

• Type: Simple grain hybrid.
• Maturity: 110–120 days.
• Utilization: Intensive grain production.

While the hybrid is robust against major maize pathogens, growers should be aware of a specific sensitivity: it is susceptible to onion stem smut (Ditylenchus dipsaci), which requires careful consideration of crop rotation if the farm is located near onion production areas. This constraint is a critical factor for land management.

Why choose the AGN340?

This hybrid is perfectly suited for medium to large-scale operations that prioritize predictable performance. The mid-early maturity range (110–120 days) allows for flexible harvest scheduling and optimized grain logistics. AGN340 is a choice for pragmatists seeking proven American genetics that deliver clear, high-performing grain characteristics.
