Maize Redda

Precision grain production with the Redda hybrid

For agricultural producers aiming for consistent grain yields, the Redda hybrid by AIC-Seeds offers a stable and reliable solution. As a simple hybrid with a dent grain type, it is specifically optimized for commercial grain production, balancing genetic potential with robust agronomic performance.

A robust defense system

The standout feature of Redda is its significant resistance profile. In environments where fusarium, helminthosporium, and onion stalk smut pose severe threats, Redda provides a reliable shield. Its genetic resistance to common corn smut (Ustilago maydis) minimizes crop loss, ensuring that the plant energy is directed into ear development rather than combating infections.

Key cultivation insights

Developed by originators Bruno Lefevre and P 2H, this hybrid performs best under intensive management practices. The recommended plant density is 60,000 to 70,000 plants per hectare. Due to its dent grain morphology, it offers excellent dry-down characteristics, which is a major advantage for reducing post-harvest drying costs.

• Hybrid Type: Simple hybrid.
• Grain Type: Dent (known for high yield potential).
• Primary Use: Commercial grain production.
• Key Resistance: High tolerance to major fungal pathogens, including fusarium and helminthosporium.

Redda is the optimal choice for professional farmers who prioritize long-term consistency and disease management. It is designed to minimize the need for heavy fungicide application, making it a sustainable and cost-effective option for large-scale corn production.
