Maize ANTOLOGIK

Engineering potential of the Antologic hybrid

Monsanto's breeding strategy for the Antologic hybrid focuses on achieving a balance between high growth intensity and controlled moisture loss. With an FAO rating of 380, this hybrid is a medium-late crop whose architecture is optimized for efficient biomass accumulation and the formation of high-quality dent-type grain.

Structural features and biological resource

The technical advantage of Antologic lies in its genetic formula as a simple hybrid. Crop uniformity, achieved through a simple cross-breeding scheme, allows for the synchronization of ear maturation, which is critical for minimizing losses during mechanical harvesting. In field conditions, this translates into:

• Stable plant density, preventing crop thinning.
• The formation of high-quality dent grain with excellent test weight and threshing output.
• An optimized biological development cycle, enabling the plant to utilize accumulated active temperatures effectively.

Practical application in the grain segment

The primary use of Antologic is for commodity grain production. Thanks to Monsanto's deep understanding of cereal physiology, the hybrid demonstrates resilience to temperature fluctuations during the grain-filling period, preserving the integrity of the starchy kernel. The "dent" grain type ensures accelerated moisture release during the final stages of the growing season, which reduces post-harvest drying costs. This is an ideal solution for agricultural enterprises focused on maximizing yields within the mid-maturity segment.
