Maize F 52

Genetic Potential and Features of the F 52 Hybrid

The F 52 corn hybrid from the originator RAT is a mid-early ripening solution (77–80 days to technical maturity) focused on intensive use across various agricultural sectors. The key feature of this material is the high adaptability of the SH2 type (supersweet corn), which requires specific agronomic practices but ensures superior organoleptic grain quality in return.

Grain Technical Specifications and Protection

Visually, F 52 grain is characterized by a rich yellow-orange color, making it ideal for the fresh market and deep processing. The genetic selection of this hybrid focuses on resistance to major pathogens:

• Comprehensive Protection: High resistance to viral diseases and mosaic viruses helps minimize chemical pressure on crops during critical growth phases.
• Biochemical Profile: Due to the SH2 type, the hybrid contains high sugar levels and maintains a prolonged period of milk-wax ripeness.

Application Scope: From Food Industry to Energy

The technological flexibility of F 52 is driven by the balance between vegetative mass and grain fraction quality:

• Food Industry: Primary use is for fresh consumption and canning.
• Industrial Processing: The high energy density of the grain makes it a promising raw material for the bioethanol industry.
• Feed Production: Residual biomass after harvest has high feed value and is suitable for use in biogas installations.

By choosing F 52, agricultural producers obtain a versatile tool that mitigates the risks of crop loss from viral infections while ensuring predictable yields within a mid-early timeframe.
