Maize LG 22.44

Reliability and Versatility: LG 2244 for Your Farming Operation

The French maize hybrid LG 2244 by Limagrain is a versatile solution for farmers focusing on both grain production and silage. As a simple hybrid, it offers consistent performance, allowing for flexible farm planning and high-quality feed stocks. Its ability to adapt to varying soil conditions makes it a reliable asset in any cropping rotation.

Agronomic Protection and Health

A major strength of LG 2244 is its robust genetic resistance to common pathogens. Growers select this hybrid for its proven tolerance against key maize threats, including:

• Helminthosporiosis (Northern Leaf Blight);
• Fusarium ear and stalk rot;
• Common smut.

By minimizing the risk of infection, LG 2244 helps farmers protect their yields and reduce the need for extensive fungicide intervention during the growing season.

Optimal Management Practices

To maximize yield potential, adhering to recommended plant populations is critical. The suggested density ranges from 70,000 to 80,000 plants per hectare. On highly fertile, moisture-rich fields, a density of 75,000–80,000 plants/ha is advised, while drier or less nutrient-dense fields perform best at 70,000–75,000 plants/ha. With a maturity cycle of 140–160 days, LG 2244 requires strategic planting timing to ensure optimal harvesting conditions and high dry matter accumulation for silage.

LG 2244 is the professional choice for producers who prioritize predictability, crop health, and strong performance across both grain and forage harvesting cycles.
