Maize Takt

Focus on stability and starch content

The 'Takt' corn hybrid, developed by the Institute of Grain Crops of the NAAS, is the professional choice for farmers prioritizing predictable yields under intensive farming conditions. The primary value of this simple hybrid lies in its genetic stability and high-quality grain output.

Agronomic potential and phytosanitary resilience

A standout characteristic of 'Takt' is its adaptability combined with a high starch content of 72%, making it highly sought after for processing and animal feed production. For the agronomist, it is critical that the hybrid demonstrates robust resistance to the most aggressive pathogens:

• A reliable shield against stalk rot and common smut.
• Resilience to lodging due to a sturdy stalk structure.

At a recommended planting density of 80,000–85,000 plants per hectare, 'Takt' shows excellent moisture loss during maturation. A growing season of 90–100 days (FAO 90–1240) allows for flexible harvesting schedules, helping to avoid grain moisture issues in the field.

Who is this hybrid for?

'Takt' is an optimal tool for enterprises focused on grain production. While it does not require complex technological interventions, strict adherence to seeding rates is essential. For fields prone to smut-related diseases, this hybrid offers a clear advantage by reducing the budget required for heavy fungicide protection without compromising total yield.
