Maize LG 3362

Field Experience with LG 3362

When you start the season with Limagrain genetics, you know exactly what to expect in terms of performance. This year, we chose LG 3362 because we needed a grain-focused hybrid that delivers results regardless of the season's volatility. The stability of this hybrid is its standout feature.

Resilience and Field Management

The biggest relief for any agronomist is avoiding unpleasant surprises at harvest time. LG 3362 shows excellent tolerance to both common smut and head smut. This drastically reduces the stress associated with complex fungicide schedules. The stalk strength is impressive, ensuring no lodging issues even if the harvest is delayed due to weather.

Growth and Seeding Density

With a maturity window of 120-140 days, planning the harvest campaign is straightforward. We manage density at two levels: 60-70k plants/ha for drier zones and 70-80k plants/ha for fertile, moisture-retentive soils. It performs consistently in both scenarios. As a simple hybrid, it behaves predictably, making it very easy to manage throughout the growth cycle.

Economic Impact

The focus on grain production makes LG 3362 a top contender. The grain moisture dry-down is efficient, which significantly cuts our energy costs at the grain dryer. There is no need for excessive inputs; by following standard agrotechnology, the hybrid consistently hits its genetic yield potential. You can truly feel the French breeding quality in every ear, characterized by high grain density and excellent net output.
