Locus

Focus on Stability and Flint Kernel Structure

When it comes to commercial grain production in temperate climates, agronomists are increasingly choosing hybrids with a flint kernel type. "Locus" from NPFG "Kompaniya Mais" is a solution for those who prioritize reliability and crop predictability. With an FAO range of 90–1240, this simple hybrid demonstrates high adaptability to various soil and climatic zones of Ukraine.

Biological Armor

The main advantage of Locus is its genetic resistance to the most dangerous pathogens. While many intensive hybrids require constant fungicidal pressure, Locus shows a high resistance threshold to:

• Loose smut;
• Common smut;
• European corn borer infestation.

These are not just technical specifications, but a tangible reduction in pesticide costs throughout the season. Resistance to smut diseases makes it attractive for farms with monoculture crop rotations, where the infection background is traditionally higher.

Agronomic Profile

Maturation within 100–110 days allows for scheduling harvest at optimal times, avoiding excessive moisture accumulation in the grain. As a simple hybrid, Locus offers excellent uniformity, which is crucial for even ripening and avoiding field heterogeneity before combining.

Who should consider this hybrid? First and foremost, farmers focused on stable grain production. If your strategy involves risk minimization and achieving predictable results without the need to invest in overly expensive intensive protection programs, Locus will become a reliable asset in your agricultural toolkit.
