Maize Crazi CS

French Breeding Excellence for High Yields

The «Krazy KS» (Крази КС) maize hybrid by the French breeder Caussade Semences (now part of Lidea) stands as a benchmark of intensive European breeding. This grain-directed hybrid has established itself in the market as a reliable asset for achieving consistently high yields combined with premium grain quality.

Agronomic Traits and Genetic Potential

The core strength of «Krazy KS» lies in its morphology: the flint-dent grain type ensures high test weight and optimal moisture dry-down rates, both critical for the profitability of commercial grain operations. With a starch content of 57%, this hybrid serves as a high-value commodity for both animal feed and industrial processing.

• Hybrid Type: Single cross (ensures uniformity and predictable development).
• FAO: 90–1240 (offering a versatile range of adaptability).
• Recommended Seeding Rate: 75,000–80,000 plants per hectare.

Disease Resistance and Crop Health

A major factor for producers selecting this hybrid is its comprehensive pathogen resistance. «Krazy KS» shows high tolerance to common smut, while also offering effective resistance against major threats such as Helminthosporium leaf blight and Fusarium. This robustness allows farmers to optimize fungicide usage while securing the crop's yield potential against infectious pressure.

Integrating this hybrid into a crop rotation is an evidence-based choice for farms focusing on intensive production technologies where yield stability and post-harvest grain quality are paramount. Backed by the expertise of Caussade/Lidea, «Krazy KS» maintains high productivity across varying climatic conditions, remaining a balanced solution for today’s competitive grain market.
