Maize Pumori

French Breeding Excellence for Modern Agriculture

The «Pumori» corn hybrid by RAGT is a prime example of European breeding, developed for growers who prioritize crop security and versatile performance. With a maturation period ranging from 120 to 140 days, this hybrid exhibits strong growth vigor and an efficient accumulation of dry matter, making it an excellent choice for both high-yield grain production and high-quality silage processing.

Agronomic Profile and Disease Resistance

The primary strength of the Pumori hybrid is its natural resilience against common maize pathogens. RAGT’s breeding program has focused on minimizing crop losses through a robust health profile:

• High tolerance to stalk rots and common smut (Ustilago maydis).
• Strong genetic defense against Fusarium, which is vital for maintaining grain quality and reducing mycotoxin risks.
• The flint-dent grain type ensures an ideal trade-off between efficient moisture release during harvest and high starch density.

Adaptability to Planting Densities

Pumori is recognized for its high plasticity, allowing agronomists to optimize stand density based on specific local conditions:

• For regions with limited moisture: 60,000–65,000 seeds/ha.
• For high-fertility environments or irrigated fields: 80,000–85,000 seeds/ha.

This flexibility makes Pumori a reliable asset in any crop rotation program, ensuring steady performance regardless of seasonal variations.
