Maize LID1145C

Genetic Potential and Morphology of LID1145C

Lidea’s French breeding program focuses on production stability with the LID1145C hybrid. This simple hybrid features ear architecture specifically adapted to a flint-dent grain type. This morphology ensures high grain density and optimizes moisture release during maturation, which is crucial for reducing post-harvest handling and drying costs.

Phytosanitary Profile and Resistance

The technological edge of LID1145C lies in its multi-layered resistance to key pathogens. Lidea’s breeders have prioritized barrier mechanisms against diseases that threaten yield performance in the field:

• Helminthosporium and Fusarium: The hybrid possesses genetically determined protection that minimizes the risk of mycotoxin development, which is vital for grain quality in feed production.
• Smut diseases: Proven resistance to common smut, coupled with a high tolerance threshold for head smut and stalk smut, ensures crop preservation even under high infectious pressure.

Planting Density Guidelines

The adaptability of LID1145C allows for flexible seeding rates depending on agronomic input levels and water availability. The recommended planting density is 60,000–65,000 plants per hectare for extensive farming systems and 70,000–75,000 plants per hectare for high-intensity farming with optimized fertilization. The hybrid demonstrates strong responsiveness to density management, allowing agronomists to effectively fine-tune the yield structure.
