Maize INAGUA

French Excellence in Maize Breeding

The «Inagua» maize hybrid by Lidea represents the pinnacle of French selection, developed by the experts at Euralis Semences. Designed for farmers who demand consistency, this hybrid serves as a versatile tool for both silage and grain production. Since its introduction, it has gained a reputation for its robust adaptability and stable yields across varying field conditions.

Core Characteristics and Versatility

Featuring a flint-dent grain type, Inagua offers excellent flexibility in end-use, excelling whether utilized for high-quality silage or grain harvesting. With a maturity rating (FAO) of 90–1240, it allows for strategic planning of harvesting windows, ensuring maximum operational efficiency on the farm.

Disease Resistance and Field Performance

Inagua stands out due to its genetic defense system against common maize pathogens. This built-in protection significantly reduces the need for extensive chemical treatments and mitigates crop loss risks:

• Strong resistance to Helminthosporium;
• High tolerance to Fusarium (stalk and cob health);
• Effective defense against head smut.

For optimal performance, a planting density of 75,000 to 80,000 plants per hectare is recommended. This range ensures healthy plant development, proper light interception, and maximum cob weight at harvest.

Market Position

Inagua is not just a hybrid; it is a reliable asset for producers aiming to maximize profitability per hectare. Its balanced agronomic profile makes it a top choice for modern crop rotations, providing the security of stable yields even when environmental factors are less than ideal. Whether your primary goal is silage production or premium grain, Lidea’s Inagua offers the genetic foundation for success.
