RGT LEXXTOUR

Stable grain yields with French genetics

The RAGT Lekkstur corn hybrid, developed by the French company RAGT, is designed for agronomists focused on achieving maximum grain yield. Due to its dent-type grain, this hybrid demonstrates excellent moisture dry-down rates, which is critical for reducing drying costs during autumn harvests.

Agronomic field resistance

By investing in this hybrid, producers protect themselves against key pathogens that can reduce crop quality. The genetic resistance of RAGT Lekkstur to helminthosporium, corn smut, and fusarium makes it a reliable tool for farms in moderately humid climates where fungal pressure is traditionally high. Particular attention should be paid to its resistance against Fusarium, ensuring the grain maintains its commercial grade during long-term storage.

Flexibility in seeding rates

RAGT Lekkstur is highly forgiving regarding plant density, allowing you to adapt the seeding rate to the specific moisture availability of your fields:

• Under irrigation or in regions with high water availability (75–80 thousand plants/ha), the hybrid reaches its full productivity potential.
• In areas with moderate moisture, 70–75 thousand plants/ha are optimal.
• In water-deficient or arid zones, growers can reduce the rate to 45–65 thousand plants/ha while maintaining yield stability due to the hybrid's strong adaptive potential.

This simple hybrid from RAGT 2n is intended strictly for grain production. The breeding focus has been placed on rapid moisture dry-down and the accumulation of heavy, high-quality grain, making RAGT Lekkstur a cost-effective choice for intensive farming operations.
