Maize RJTB MAXATAK

French Breeding for Consistent Yields

RGT Maxatak is the result of intensive breeding by RAGT Semences, a company that has held a leading position in the European corn market for decades. This medium-early hybrid, developed by Societe Ragt 2N S.A.S., is a direct response to the needs of modern farmers working under changing climatic conditions. It is engineered for those who refuse to compromise between yield potential and phytosanitary security.

Prioritizing Crop Health

The standout feature of this hybrid is its proven resistance to Fusarium. In humid conditions or crop rotation challenges, this pathogen can devastate up to half of the yield; however, the genetic resistance of Maxatak significantly mitigates the risk of grain quality degradation. This specific trait has established it as a trusted choice in regions where unpredictable weather patterns elevate the risk of fungal outbreaks.

Agrotechnical Guidelines

The hybrid displays exceptional plasticity regarding stand density, allowing for flexible management based on regional moisture availability:

• 65,000–70,000 plants/ha — for water-limited environments;
• 70,000–75,000 plants/ha — standard density for optimal conditions;
• 75,000–80,000 plants/ha — maximum density for high-fertility or irrigated soils.

Thanks to its medium-early maturity, Maxatak effectively escapes extreme summer heat, ensuring steady grain filling and consistent FAO ratings (90–1240). It represents a balanced investment for producers aiming for predictable outcomes with minimal phytosanitary risks.
