Maize R 16055

French Breeding for High Yield Efficiency

The R 16055 corn hybrid from RAGT is a product developed by French breeders at Societe Ragt 2N S.A.S, focusing on maximum grain output. Under intensive farming conditions, this hybrid demonstrates high adaptability to various soil types, making it a strategic choice for growers targeting commercial grain production.

Technical Specifications and Morphology

• Usage: Exclusively for grain production. The hybrid is engineered to minimize grain moisture at harvest, reducing energy costs for drying.
• Yield Potential: Due to the genetically optimized ear architecture, the plant efficiently fills the cob, ensuring a high 1000-kernel weight.
• Stability: RAGT genetics ensure resistance to lodging, allowing the use of high-capacity harvesting equipment without losses.

The key feature of the R 16055 lies in its ability to rapidly release moisture during the final ripening stages. This is achieved through the structure of the husk and physiological processes programmed by the originators. In practice, this allows for earlier harvesting, helping to avoid critical weather risks during the autumn period.

To achieve maximum results, the hybrid requires adherence to the optimal plant density recommended by the manufacturer for the specific climate zone. Intensive cultivation technology, combined with balanced mineral fertilization, allows the full potential of the hybrid—as established by the originators at RAGT—to be realized.
