Maize AS 33035

Stable yields in challenging conditions: Working with the AS 33035 hybrid

When choosing seeds for intensive farming, finding the right balance between grain yield potential and silage quality is a priority. The three-way cross hybrid AS 33035 from Aspria Seeds, bred by Frederic Poujeaud, has proven to be a reliable choice for those who want to mitigate risks related to weather and field phytosanitary conditions.

Agronomic performance and field practice

With an FAO range of 90–1240 and a maturation period of 120–140 days, AS 33035 shows remarkable resilience to temperature fluctuations. The flint-dent grain type provides the perfect balance: it is dense enough for safe grain storage while offering excellent moisture release during maturation.

Defense and disease resistance

Managing the pathogen load is a major headache for any corn grower.

• Total confidence against loose and common smut.
• Effective resistance to Helminthosporium and Fusarium, significantly reducing the need for intensive fungicide applications during critical growth stages.
• Proven durability against onion stem smut, which often affects weakened crops.

Versatility in application

The main advantage of this hybrid is its dual-purpose nature. If grain market prices are low, you can easily shift your harvest strategy to silage. The flint-dent grain combined with a sturdy stalk ensures high nutritional value for livestock feed. This is a case where one variety serves two purposes, minimizing logistics and simplifying crop rotation. AS 33035 represents the predictability that translates into consistently high yield per hectare at harvest time.
