AS 35001

Consistent Yield and Broad Maturity: AS 35001 by Aspria Seeds

In the competitive market of maize hybrids, it is rare to find a variety that combines such extreme plasticity as the AS 35001. Developed by breeder Frederic Poujeaud under the Aspria Seeds brand, this variety embodies the successful search for balance between significant vegetative mass for silage and high output of dry grain.

Agronomic Profile and Resilience

AS 35001 offers a unique variability in FAO metrics (90–1240). A maturation period of 140–160 days enables the crop to maximize the potential of solar radiation and cumulative temperatures over an extended growing season. The choice of dent and flint-dent grain ensures the optimal combination of density and starch content required for varied processing needs.

A significant competitive advantage of this hybrid is its phytosanitary reliability. Under high disease pressure, AS 35001 demonstrates excellent resistance to the most critical maize diseases:

• Full tolerance to common and head smut.
• Robust resistance to Fusarium, which is vital for maintaining grain quality during the maturation stage.
• Proven defense against Helminthosporium and stalk rot.

Production and Application

This hybrid is intended for dual-purpose use. In farming operations with strong livestock sectors, it is highly valued as silage feedstock due to its high energy content. Producers focusing on grain commodities choose AS 35001 for its stable yields when harvested in late cycles. The hybrid adapts exceptionally well to diverse soil types, reflecting the high genetic purity and development predictability characteristic of Aspria Seeds' portfolio.

AS 35001 represents an ideal choice for growers seeking a proven method of protecting crops from fungal pathogens without the constant reliance on heavy fungicide applications, while maintaining flexibility in the final use of the harvest.
