Maize FERARIXX

Stable yields under challenging conditions: why choose Ferarikks

RAGT French breeding focuses on reliability, and the Ferarikks hybrid is a prime example. This mid-late maturing maize variety is aimed exclusively at high-quality grain production. Thanks to its flint-dent kernel type, the hybrid demonstrates excellent test weight and superior threshing performance.

Field strengths

The key feature of Ferarikks is its genetic resistance to Fusarium. In conditions where a wet autumn or a prolonged spring poses a risk of fungal diseases, this hybrid serves as an "insurance policy" for the agronomist. Avoiding ear rot allows for the preservation of commercial grain quality, which is crucial for storage and subsequent marketability.

Agronomy and seeding density

With a maturation period of 140–160 days, Ferarikks belongs to a high-yield potential group that requires sufficient heat accumulation. The hybrid is flexible regarding plant density, allowing it to be adapted to various agronomic backgrounds:

• In highly productive fields with intensive fertilization, it is advisable to target 80,000–90,000 plants per hectare.
• In areas with moderate moisture or less fertile soils, the optimal density ranges from 60,000 to 75,000 plants/ha.
• When using extensive management techniques or farming in risky climate zones, lowering density to 45,000–50,000 plants/ha is recommended.

RAGT Ferarikks is the choice for farms aiming for premium grain quality. Its robust stalk and resistance to lodging allow for a flexible harvest window, ensuring stable output even in seasons with high Fusarium pressure.
