Crosby

High-Yield Potential with Intensive Farming

The French hybrid Crosbi by Limagrain is a strategic choice for growers targeting maximum commercial output per hectare. As an intensive-type hybrid, it excels under high-input conditions and optimized soil fertility management, effectively converting resources into high yield.

Versatility for Your Farm

Crosbi offers dual-purpose flexibility, performing equally well for both grain and silage production. This provides the flexibility needed for harvest planning: whether you are supplying livestock or targeting the grain market, you maintain consistent quality throughout the season. Its adaptability makes it a reliable asset for any professional crop rotation.

Built-in Pest and Disease Management

A key challenge in managing intensive hybrids is protecting against common threats. Crosbi stands out with strong genetic resistance to:

• Fusarium, ensuring superior grain quality during storage;
• Common smut, protecting ear integrity;
• European corn borer and cotton bollworm, significantly reducing the need for intensive insecticide applications.

Agronomic Recommendations

To hit your target yields, planting density must be adjusted based on local moisture levels and soil productivity. The recommended seeding rate is between 70,000 and 90,000 plants per hectare. A higher density (up to 90,000) is justified in irrigated fields or zones with abundant moisture, while the 70,000–80,000 range is ideal for standard production conditions.

Thanks to its early maturation, Crosbi avoids the late-season risks associated with unfavorable weather, ensuring a stable harvest with lower grain moisture content at the time of collection.
