Maize LG31380

French breeding for maximum yield

Limagrain LG31380 is a sophisticated choice for those seeking a balance between high grain yields and high-quality silage mass. As a simple dent corn hybrid, it shows excellent moisture release, which is critical during the autumn harvest. The breeder has focused on the phytosanitary profile of the crop, providing a high level of genetic resistance to common pathogens.

Phytopathological profile and resilience

The core strength of LG31380 is its performance under high infection pressure. The hybrid exhibits robust resistance to common smut, while also effectively countering fusarium and stalk rot. This allows farmers to reduce fungicide application costs and maintain stem integrity until harvest, effectively eliminating the risk of lodging.

Agronomic practices and density

To fully unlock the potential of LG31380, it is necessary to adjust planting density depending on the end goal:

• For silage production, the recommended density is 75,000–85,000 plants per hectare.
• For grain production, the density should be reduced to 45,000–55,000 plants per hectare to ensure full ear development.

With a vegetation period of 120–140 days, this mid-maturing hybrid is an optimal choice for operations aiming for predictable results under varied weather conditions.
