Maize EG 7 B 64

Universal potential of the Lidea EG 7 B 64 hybrid

French selection brand Lidea presents EG 7 B 64 as a multifunctional tool for intensive agriculture. The key value of this hybrid lies in its adaptability to various processing vectors, which eliminates the issue of field specialization for agronomists before the season begins.

Technological profile and target application

The model is engineered to satisfy the demands of four market segments:

• Food Industry: high starch content and flour yields ensure stable demand from food manufacturers.
• Feed Production: a balanced dry matter composition makes this hybrid optimal for silage and high-energy compound feed.
• Biofuel: high biomass and sugar concentration allow for efficient use of the crop in ethanol production.
• Industrial Processing: the physical and chemical properties of the grain meet the standards of deep processing, expanding the marketing potential of the harvest.

The hybrid's design focuses on plant metabolic stability. Given the challenging climatic conditions, France—the home of the originator (Airaines)—demands high stress resistance from the crop, which is reflected in the genetic code of EG 7 B 64. Its agrotechnical flexibility allows for the use of this hybrid in both arid regions and irrigated fields without compromising grain quality. Field practice demonstrates that the hybrid's high germination energy and robust root system allow it to maximize soil profile utilization, ensuring predictable results under intensive cultivation protocols.
