Maize FRIZZBEE

French genetics for versatile production

The «Frizbee» hybrid from Maisadour Semences is a three-way cross maize variety that serves as a versatile solution for farmers seeking to minimize production risks. Unlike specialized hybrids aimed exclusively at grain or silage, «Frizbee» demonstrates stable productivity in both directions. This makes it an ideal choice for mixed-type farms where flexibility in crop utilization is a priority.

Crop health as a priority

The primary competitive advantage of this hybrid lies in its phytosanitary qualities. Maisadour's breeding program focuses on developing disease-resistant plants: «Frizbee» successfully withstands Helminthosporium leaf blight and Fusarium ear rot — two major threats that can significantly impact yield quality. An additional benefit is its high resistance to common smut, which simplifies field management and reduces the need for heavy fungicide intervention.

Agrotechnics and recommendations

The flint-dent grain type provides an excellent balance between moisture release and test weight. Regarding plant density, the hybrid shows high adaptability:

• 65,000–70,000 plants/ha — for fields with limited moisture (extensive farming).
• 70,000–75,000 plants/ha — standard density for most farming operations.
• 75,000–80,000 plants/ha — high density for intensive zones with sufficient rainfall.

Who is this hybrid for? «Frizbee» is optimal for farmers operating in zones with a moderate infection pressure, who prioritize high-quality silage or reliable commercial grain output without excessive fungicide costs. It is a choice for consistency and crop security.
