RGT PETERXXON

French breeding for the Polissya region

The RAGT PETERKKSON hybrid represents a new standard in grain maize productivity, developed by the French company RAGT 2n. Officially registered in Ukraine in 2025, this hybrid was specifically designed to meet the needs of farmers in the Polissya region who require stable and predictable performance for high-quality grain production.

Genetic potential and morphology

The RAGT PETERKKSON hybrid is the result of meticulous work by RAGT 2n breeders, focusing on high adaptability. According to UPOV data, the hybrid exhibits distinct morphological characteristics:

• Leaf development: Broad leaves with intense green coloration and strong leaf margin waviness, which promotes efficient photosynthesis.
• Plant structure: A tall plant with a moderate leaf angle, ensuring optimal light penetration throughout the canopy.
• Tassel characteristics: Medium flowering time and moderate spikelet density allow the plant to efficiently allocate resources during the reproductive phase.

The absence of stem zigzagging and weak anthocyanin coloration in vegetative organs highlight the hybrid's breeding purity. The medium ear length and moderate ear insertion height make RAGT PETERKKSON well-suited for mechanized harvesting, minimizing losses during combine operations.

Why Polissya?

Its medium-early maturity group makes this hybrid an ideal candidate for the Polissya agro-climatic zone. In conditions where realizing yield potential before the onset of adverse autumn weather is critical, RAGT PETERKKSON demonstrates balanced development. The 2025 registration confirms the hybrid's relevance for modern intensive farming technologies, where both yield and grain moisture dry-down are paramount.
