Description
French Breeding for the Food Industry
The «226 IA 988 CMS» hybrid from Lidea (originator: Rustica Semences) is a specialized product of the French breeding school. Unlike mass-market silage or feed varieties, this hybrid was developed with a primary focus on food-grade applications. This grain was engineered specifically for processing into groats and culinary products, which requires the maize to possess specific organoleptic properties and compositional stability.
Agronomic Profile
The medium-maturation timing allows this hybrid to effectively leverage the potential of various climatic zones, ensuring optimal starch and protein accumulation. Visually, the grain features a distinct yellow-orange hue, a critical criterion for the food processing industry: this color in finished products, such as grits or flour, is highly valued by consumers.
- Intended use: fresh consumption, milling (groats), and food production.
- Stability: the hybrid demonstrates high adaptability to primary processing technological standards.
- Manufacturer: Lidea (France).
The reputation of the Lidea brand, formed by combining the expertise of Euralis Semences and Caussade Semences, guarantees adherence to high standards of genetic purity. «226 IA 988 CMS» is not merely planting material; it is a tool for farms working under contracts with food industry enterprises, where grain quality requirements are significantly more stringent than those for feed corn.
