Maize Lopino

Technological Potential of Lopino Hybrid

The Austrian breeding company Saatbau focuses on versatility with the Lopino model. This corn hybrid belongs to the intermediate grain type, exhibiting distinct features of a flint-dent grain structure. This combination is not just an agronomic trait but an engineered solution for managing moisture release and starch composition, which is critical for both grain and silage production.

Adaptability and Phytosanitary Profile

The core focus of Lopino lies in its genetic resilience. In intensive farming, protection against pathogens is a decisive factor for profitability. Saatbau breeders have implemented a robust barrier against common smut (Ustilago maydis), enabling stable yields even in stressful seasons characterized by high humidity or temperature fluctuations. Notably, its resistance to head smut ensures reduced losses during maturation and simplifies the harvesting process.

Practical Value for Farms

• Application Versatility: High potential for both grain production and silage-oriented cultivation.
• Grain Type: The intermediate flint-dent type ensures an optimal balance between drying speed during ripening and nutrient accumulation.
• Agronomic Efficiency: High productivity under standard intensive cultivation practices.

Choosing Lopino is an investment in Austrian genetic quality, emphasizing a balanced ear structure and lodging resistance, which effectively minimizes the risk of yield losses prior to harvest.
