Maize MIXSI

French breeding for stable grain yields

The «Mixi» corn hybrid by RAGT (originator Societe Ragt 2N S.A.S) represents classic French breeding, designed for the efficient production of high-quality commodity grain. The core strategy of this hybrid is the balance between a medium-early maturity period and excellent moisture release, a crucial factor for reducing post-harvest drying costs.

Agronomic advantages

The dent-type grain of «Mixi» provides not only high yield potential but also superior grain test weight. This allows producers to market a high-value commodity that scores well at grain elevators. Unlike many early-maturing hybrids prone to lodging, this RAGT product demonstrates exceptional stalk strength throughout the entire growing season.

• Planting density flexibility: The hybrid allows for a variable seeding rate between 60,000 and 80,000 plants/ha, depending on soil moisture availability. This flexibility enables growers to fine-tune their technology according to regional climate specifics.
• Stability: The medium-early maturity reduces risks associated with early autumn frosts or prolonged harvest rainfall.

Who is this hybrid for?

«Mixi» is an ideal choice for operations focused on intensive corn production that aim to balance high yields with an early window for harvest operations. Thanks to its adaptability to different plant populations, it performs well both in high-moisture zones (where up to 80,000 plants/ha are recommended) and in regions with semi-arid climates (60-65,000 plants/ha).

A potential drawback of this hybrid is the need for strict crop rotation and early-stage pest management, which is characteristic of high-intensity European genetics. However, when the cultivation guidelines are followed, «Mixi» delivers a highly predictable performance, making it a reliable workhorse for any professional agronomic program.
