Maize LAR 1490

French breeding for the fresh produce market

The LAR 1490 hybrid from Mas Seeds is a specialized tool for farmers focused on the vegetable corn segment. Unlike standard fodder hybrids, this variety with a 70-72 day growing period meets the demand for early, high-quality produce for the fresh market or further industrial processing.

Practical use in farming operations

Choosing LAR 1490 is justified if your business strategy relies on the following applications:

• Fresh market: The flint-type grain ensures excellent marketability of the cob, which is critical for retail.
• Freezing and processing: The stability of the grain structure after shock freezing makes this hybrid highly sought after by processing facilities.
• Cereal production: Technological indicators allow for the use of the harvest to obtain high-quality raw materials in the grain industry.

Agronomic reliability

The French genetics of Mas Seeds are focused on phytosanitary stability, which is a decisive factor for early planting. The hybrid demonstrates high resistance to common smut and effectively counters a complex of pathogens, including helminthosporiosis, fusarium, and onion stem smut. This protection reduces the fungicide load on the field and minimizes the risk of crop loss during periods of high humidity typical of the initial vegetation phases.

For an agronomist, working with LAR 1490 means a predictable ripening cycle and simplified disease management. It is a balanced choice for those who prefer proven European quality over risking yields for questionable savings on seed material.
