Maize R 19021

Focusing on Energy Efficiency

French breeding from RAGT is known for its highly specialized hybrids, and the R 19021 model is a prime example of this strategy. Unlike universal corn hybrids, this option is specifically tailored for processing. Utilizing R 19021 for silage or biogas allows for maximum energy yield per hectare, which is critical for agricultural businesses investing in their own energy capacities or intensive livestock farming complexes.

Agronomic Potential and Features

The dent-type grain, combined with early maturity, ensures not only high dry matter yield but also stable performance even during periods of heat deficit during the growing season. In moderate climates, this minimizes the risks of "under-ripening," where the hybrid fails to accumulate the necessary sugar levels.

• Energy Value: High sugar content makes this hybrid an ideal feedstock for biogas plants, ensuring an efficient fermentation process.
• Planting Density: Flexibility in planting density (from 60 to 85 thousand plants/ha) allows agronomists to adjust the load based on soil moisture availability and nutrient intensity levels.
• Feed Quality: Due to the dent grain structure, the resulting silage boasts high energy value, which directly impacts cattle productivity.

It is important to note that R 19021 is a specialized tool. It should not be considered a universal grain solution for the commodity market. It is the choice for those who operate with a "field-to-farm" or "field-to-power-plant" logic, where every kilogram of dry mass must be converted into liters of milk or kilowatts of energy.
