Maize ES DESCARTES

Reliable hybrid for consistent grain production

When selecting a hybrid for grain production, the top priorities are moisture management and disease resistance. ES DEKART from Euralis Semences proves to be a reliable choice that simplifies field management significantly. It is a robust option that performs consistently, allowing for predictable harvesting schedules.

Crop development

With a maturity period of 90–100 days, this hybrid fits perfectly into the standard harvest window. The dent-type kernels are easy to thresh, and the grain displays excellent dry-down characteristics, which helps keep drying costs down—a crucial factor in today’s economic climate. The development cycle is predictable, ensuring that the crop hits its milestones without unnecessary delays.

Disease resistance

ES DEKART shows strong resistance to common corn smut, which provides peace of mind throughout the season. Furthermore, its resistance to fusarium and stalk rot minimizes the risk of lodging or grain quality degradation. This ensures a cleaner sample in the hopper, making storage much easier and more efficient.

Sowing recommendations

Depending on soil fertility and available moisture, adjust the seeding rate to balance the potential of the hybrid:

• Under ideal moisture conditions, target 75,000 to 80,000 plants/ha.
• In more standard conditions, 65,000 to 75,000 plants/ha works best.

Overall, ES DEKART is a straightforward hybrid. It gets off to a strong start, handles temperature fluctuations well, and provides the kind of consistent performance that keeps a farm profitable. It is a solid choice for those who want a trouble-free growing season with reliable output.
