Description
Why professionals choose AVO 1236 for their business
French breeding by Limagrain has long been synonymous with reliability in the sweet corn market. The AVO 1236 hybrid is the go-to solution for those seeking the perfect balance between early harvest times and grain quality that meets the rigorous SH2 standards.
Key Advantages
- Harvest Efficiency: The 78-80 day vegetation period allows producers to enter the market ahead of the curve, which is critical for the fresh market and retail distribution.
- SH2 Genetics: The "supersweet" grain type is characterized by higher sugar content and a slow conversion to starch. This provides the consumer with a unique taste and the farmer with a longer shelf life for their produce.
- Usage Versatility: The vibrant yellow color of the kernels makes AVO 1236 a favorite for both direct retail and industrial processing (freezing, canning).
Agronomic Aspects and Planting Density
To reach peak yields, this hybrid requires careful management of plant density. The recommended planting density is 55,000–65,000 plants per hectare. This ensures the plant can fulfill its potential in ear development without excessive competition for light and moisture. Importantly, beyond the food sector, the hybrid is highly effective for livestock feed, providing high energy value for animal fattening programs.
Who is this hybrid for?
AVO 1236 is perfectly suited for agricultural enterprises focused on income diversification: part of the harvest can be quickly sold "from the field" on the fresh market, while the remainder can be processed or used as a high-quality forage base. Limagrain’s French genetics provide high resilience, minimizing the risk of crop loss even during moderate climate fluctuations.
