Maize M 23

High-Starch Hybrid for Efficient Processing

The M 23 maize hybrid by RAT is specifically engineered for agricultural enterprises targeting high starch yields. Featuring a dent grain type, this hybrid consistently achieves a starch content of 60 %, making it an ideal choice for the starch and sweetener industry. Its genetic composition is tailored to meet industrial processing standards while maintaining high field performance.

Field Performance and Protection

One of the primary benefits of M 23 is its inherent resistance to the wireworm, a common soil pest that often threatens early-stage crop establishment. By choosing this hybrid, farmers can significantly reduce the risk of crop thinning on infested fields. Being a mid-early maturing hybrid, it allows for streamlined harvest scheduling, fitting well into various crop rotation cycles typical for temperate climate zones.

Practical Applications

• Industrial Starch Production: The 60 % starch content ensures high recovery rates for processing facilities.
• Grain Yield Stability: Suitable for large-scale production where high-quality grain is required for both commercial resale and domestic feed applications.
• Risk Mitigation: Excellent resistance to wireworms allows for secure planting without the fear of major stand density losses.

For growers looking to balance industrial output with field reliability, M 23 offers a predictable and profitable solution, ensuring that input costs regarding pest control are minimized while starch performance is maximized.
