Maize LZM272/10

Stable yields in a short growing season

Limagrain’s French breeding program focuses on predictability with the LZM272/10 hybrid. Designed specifically for grain production, this hybrid is the ideal choice for growers operating in regions with moderate or limited moisture, looking to minimize risks associated with early autumn frosts.

Agronomic profile and potential

The dent-type grain, combined with a maturity period of 90–110 days, allows the plant to efficiently utilize accumulated heat. Unlike late-maturing hybrids that often go into winter with high grain moisture content, LZM272/10 demonstrates excellent dry-down rates. This translates into direct budget savings on post-harvest drying costs, which is a critical economic advantage given current energy prices.

Who is this solution for?

• Farms in northern and central regions where a quick start and early maturity are essential.
• Agronomists practicing intensive farming aimed at maximizing grain output per hectare.
• Enterprises planning to clear fields for winter crops within optimal agrotechnical windows.

The core strength of this hybrid lies in its genetic resilience, developed by the originators (Limagrain, Emilseme S.P.A). The plant forms well-filled cobs even under environmental stress, making it a reliable tool in volatile climate conditions. The focus here is not on breaking yield records in perfect conditions, but on securing a consistently high harvest in areas where other hybrids might struggle to reach their full potential.
