Maize Celerina

Focus on Stability: Why Growers Choose Lidea Celerina

In the face of unpredictable phytosanitary conditions, selecting a hybrid with "innate" immunity becomes a primary yield protection strategy. French breeder Lidea offers Celerina — a tool for those who prefer not to rely solely on fungicide sprays. The hybrid's main strength lies in its comprehensive resistance to the most aggressive pathogens that can reduce maize yield potential by up to 20% annually.

Versatility in the Field: Grain or Silage?

Celerina is a classic solution for farms with integrated production systems. The hybrid shows excellent performance both in grain cultivation and silage production. Its high plasticity allows growers to adapt the crop to the specific needs of the season: if weather conditions favor vegetative mass accumulation, you get high-quality energy-dense silage; with stable ripening, you secure high-test-weight grain.

The Phytosanitary Shield

Lidea has placed significant emphasis on genetic protection. Celerina demonstrates high resistance to the following threats:

• Helminthosporium: keeps the leaf canopy healthy until physiological maturity.
• Rust: minimizes yield loss risks in high-humidity regions.
• Viral diseases and mosaics: a critical factor in preventing leaf curling and necrosis, which directly impacts photosynthesis.

Practical experience shows that where other hybrids require two or three fungicide applications to maintain leaf health, Celerina allows for significant optimization of pesticide costs without compromising yield quality.

Agronomist’s Recommendations

Utilize this hybrid in fields with a history of high infection pressure or populations of insect vectors carrying viruses. Thanks to its genetically ingrained resistance to maize mosaic virus, Celerina remains stable even under stressful conditions. This is your choice for a reliable harvest with high market appeal.
