The Fregat hybrid maize from Syngenta is a medium-early variety with FAO maturity group 320, designed for high-quality grain production. The grain type is dent, providing good structure and high starch content (72-73%) and protein (8.8-9.7%). The package contains 80,000 seeds, allowing efficient planning of planting operations.
Fregat is characterized by high yield potential and is adapted for cultivation in areas with unstable moisture, including forest-steppe, forest meadow, and northern steppe. The hybrid features rapid grain moisture release during maturation, facilitating timely harvest and reducing losses. High resistance to corn ear fusarium ensures grain preservation and quality, which is particularly important for export-oriented grain.
To achieve maximum productivity, planting is recommended at optimal early dates when soil temperature reaches +8...10°C at seed depth. Recommended plant density at harvest depends on moisture level: 60–70,000/ha under adequate moisture, 50–60,000/ha under unstable moisture, and 40–50,000/ha under insufficient moisture. Thanks to these agronomic features, the Fregat hybrid ensures stable and high yields under various climatic conditions.
