Maize Latizana

French Genetics for High Performance

The «Latizana» hybrid by Limagrain represents intensive French genetics designed to deliver consistently high yields of both grain and silage. In modern agricultural conditions, this simple hybrid demonstrates strong adaptability, making it a valuable tool for producers aiming to maximize return on investment per hectare.

Agronomic Traits and Resilience

The core advantage of «Latizana» lies in the combination of its dent-type grain and significant yield potential. With a maturity range of 120–140 days and an FAO rating between 90–1240, this hybrid occupies a solid position among mid-season varieties, allowing for flexible harvest scheduling.

Limagrain's plant breeders have prioritized crop health. In environments with high disease pressure, «Latizana» displays reliable resistance against critical pathogens:

• Helminthosporiosis;
• Maize fusarium;
• Common smut.

This phytosanitary resilience minimizes risks to grain and silage quality, ensuring predictable results even under challenging weather conditions.

Seeding Recommendations

To achieve the target yield, the manufacturer recommends adjusting plant density based on local moisture levels and soil fertility. The optimal density range is 65,000 to 80,000 plants per hectare. Following these guidelines enables the hybrid to utilize its nutritional area effectively, producing well-filled ears with high kernel weight.
