Maize LGX 2069

French genetics in your fields

Working with the LGH 2069 hybrid from Mas Seeds, it immediately becomes clear that the French focused on stability and versatility.

Field practice and biological features

The mid-to-late maturity period sets the ground rules—you must be confident in your climatic zone. However, the hybrid pays back in full for that extra time. The yellow dent-type grain with an intermediate structure handles threshing perfectly. During harvest, LGH 2069 stands out for its easy threshability, with minimal losses during combine header or rotor adjustments. This is a case where Joel Meunier’s breeding work focused on technical efficiency: the grain is not damaged, and the percentage of cracked grain in the hopper remains within limits, even at high operating speeds.

Real value for the farm

• Versatility: this is not a niche hybrid. You can use it for silage or grain production. For farm logistics, this is a massive advantage that allows for flexible resource management at the end of the season.
• Adaptability: the intermediate grain type provides a balance between high yield and fast moisture dry-down. It isn’t the earliest hybrid, but you avoid unnecessary drying costs if you select the right planting window.
• Stalk stability: a powerful root system and a strong stalk ensure resistance to lodging, which is crucial in regions prone to heavy autumn winds.

Maintenance of LGH 2069 crops is standard for Mas Seeds genetics. The hybrid is responsive to micronutrient applications and proper mineral fertilization. It is a workhorse for those looking for predictable grain yields with minimal stress for the agronomic team.
