Maize LG31272

Reliable performance: the potential of LG31272

French breeding from Limagrain presents LG31272 as a flexible solution for farms where versatility is a priority. This simple hybrid has proven to be a reliable workhorse, capable of delivering excellent results whether harvested for grain or used in silage production.

Agronomic advantages and health

The core strength of LG31272 lies in its resistance to specific pathogens. In humid conditions or under high-intensity crop rotation, this hybrid effectively withstands Fusarium and stalk smut. Strong resistance to common smut allows for optimized fungicide budgets, directly impacting the cost of production.

Sowing strategy and density

The hybrid requires careful adjustment of planting density based on your climatic zone and water availability:

• Under intensive management and adequate moisture, it is recommended to maintain 85,000–90,000 plants per hectare to maximize yield potential.
• In water-limited regions, a lower density of 50,000–55,000 plants per hectare is optimal, allowing plants to develop without critical competition for resources.

The flint-dent grain type provides an excellent balance between rapid dry-down at maturity and high nutritional value for silage. This makes LG31272 a sound choice for mixed farming operations where high-quality feed and grain marketability are equally important.
