The hybrid maize LG31280 from the producer Limagrain is a medium-early planting material with FAO maturity group 280, intended for grain production. This hybrid is characterized by high adaptability to continental and drought-prone conditions, ensuring stable yields even under challenging climatic conditions. High tolerance to lodging and ear mold, as well as resistance to diseases such as common rust and fusarium, make LG31280 a reliable choice for farmers aiming for quality and high yields.
Plants of the hybrid reach an average height of about 260 cm, with a maximum height of up to 360 cm. The kernels are of a cream-colored, toothed type, forming ears with 14 rows and 30-32 kernels per row. Drought resistance and yield potential are evaluated at a high level, confirmed by ecological trials. Initial growth rates and water use efficiency are also high, contributing to effective crop development and timely harvest.
The recommended plant population before harvest varies depending on the region: in areas with sufficient moisture — 75-85 thousand plants per hectare, in areas with insufficient moisture — 60-70 thousand, and in arid regions — 50-55 thousand plants per hectare. Seeds are treated with the product Forza Zea and fungicides, which additionally protects crops from diseases and promotes successful growth. LG31280 is suitable for cultivation both in monoculture and with various farming technologies, making it a versatile and profitable choice for farmers.
