Burli CS

Efficient Grain Production with French Genetics

The «Burli KS» corn hybrid from Caussade Semences (originator: Lidea France) is engineered for farmers who prioritize stable grain yields and high quality. Being a three-way cross hybrid, it offers excellent flexibility across different growing environments. With a flint-dent grain type, it manages moisture content effectively, consistently reaching a starch content of 58%, which is highly valued for commercial grain production.

Disease Resistance and Crop Health

Genetics from Caussade Semences emphasize resilience against common field pathogens. By incorporating Burli KS into your crop rotation, you mitigate risks associated with harvest losses. This hybrid shows strong genetic resistance to:

• Helminthosporiosis (specifically corn-related strains);
• Fusarium ear and stalk rot;
• Stalk smut.

This resistance ensures that the plant remains standing and healthy until harvest, even under stressful weather conditions during the late growth stages.

Practical Field Performance

With an FAO rating of 90–1240, Burli KS acts as a reliable mid-early hybrid. The recommended planting density is 75,000 to 80,000 plants per hectare. In practice, farmers choose this hybrid for its superior grain dry-down rate. Faster moisture release at maturity significantly reduces energy consumption and costs during the post-harvest drying process, directly impacting the net profitability per hectare. For best results, it is recommended to focus on balanced mineral nutrition during the 6–8 leaf growth stage, ensuring robust ear development and full genetic expression of the hybrid's yield potential.
