Maize MAS 22K

A Versatile Solution for Silage and Grain Production

The French hybrid MAS 22K from Maisadour Semences is a strategic choice for farms focused on consistent productivity within intensive farming systems. Designed to meet the dual needs of modern agriculture, this hybrid delivers both high-energy silage and high-quality dent grain, providing flexibility in crop management.

Agronomic Advantages

The key advantage of this hybrid is its adaptability. With a vegetation period of 140 to 160 days, the plant demonstrates excellent yield potential. Growers prioritize MAS 22K primarily for its robust phytosanitary profile. In regions where the pressure of Helminthosporium and Fusarium stalk rot is high, this hybrid effectively minimizes field losses, ensuring both quality and marketability.

Practical Field Application

• Silage Strategy: The hybrid’s robust stalk and high-quality biomass allow for the harvesting of silage with optimal dry matter and starch content, which is critical for dairy herd performance.
• Grain Production: The dent-type grain structure ensures efficient moisture release during maturation, significantly reducing post-harvest drying costs.
• Technical Management: MAS 22K is highly responsive to intensive fertilizer programs, enabling the full realization of its genetic potential in well-irrigated and fertile soil zones.

For the modern agronomist, MAS 22K represents reliability. Its proven resistance to fungal pathogens allows for a reduction in the frequency of fungicide applications, positively impacting the cost per ton of the final crop.
