Maize RGT PREFIXX

French breeding for stable grain yield

The RAGT 'RGT Prefix' (РЖТ Префиккс) hybrid represents a strategic choice for producers who prioritize consistency and crop health. In agricultural areas where Fusarium poses a significant threat to profitability, this hybrid stands out due to its inherent resistance to the pathogen. By effectively resisting Fusarium ear and stalk rot, the hybrid allows farmers to reduce storage losses and maintain high grain quality, which is crucial for marketability.

Technical specifications and efficiency

As a dent-type, simple hybrid, 'RGT Prefix' is engineered specifically for grain production. The key advantage of this variety is its superior dry-down rate, which significantly lowers post-harvest drying costs. This makes it a highly efficient option for farms looking to optimize their operational expenses during the peak harvest season.

Guidelines for seeding density

The hybrid's plasticity is one of its strongest features, allowing farmers to adjust plant density based on soil type and water availability. The recommended range is quite broad, offering flexibility:

• 45,000–55,000 seeds/ha: recommended for areas with restricted water availability.
• 60,000–65,000 seeds/ha: optimal for standard, moderate conditions.
• 70,000–75,000 seeds/ha: recommended for fertile soils with high water capacity to maximize yield potential.

Who should choose this hybrid?

'RGT Prefix' is an optimal solution for growers managing fields with a history of fungal pressure. Unlike many of its competitors, it maintains structural integrity under environmental stress, requiring fewer chemical interventions. It is best suited for intensive grain production systems where the focus is on achieving high-quality yields with predictable performance. By choosing the correct seeding density relative to the local agro-climatic zone, producers can leverage the hybrid's genetic potential for both yield and economic efficiency.
