Citizen

Stable grain yields with French genetics

Choosing a hybrid with FAO 350 is a search for the golden mean between yield potential and moisture release requirements. The "Citizen" hybrid from the French company Maisadour Semences was created specifically for farms focused on commercial grain production with minimal harvest losses.

The flint-dent grain type provides an excellent balance between grain density and the ability to lose moisture quickly. In field conditions, this means you can proceed to harvesting on time, without overpaying for elevator drying fees. The simple hybrid structure ensures uniform crop development, which is critical for combine adjustments and achieving high-quality commercial batches.

The phytosanitary shield for your field

"Citizen" demonstrates reliable resistance to key pathogens that traditionally erode profits at the end of the season:

• Helminthosporium leaf blight: even in high humidity during the second half of summer, the leaves remain active, ensuring full grain filling.
• Fusarium ear rot: reduces the risk of mycotoxin accumulation, which simplifies the sale of grain for export or further processing.
• Common smut: genetic protection helps preserve cob integrity, preventing losses from this harmful disease.

A practical scenario for this hybrid is intensive cultivation in areas with sufficient moisture, where its genetic potential is fully realized. Thanks to its good adaptability to various soil types, "Citizen" is forgiving of minor agronomic errors, but it responds best to a full complex of mineral fertilizers. It is a reliable tool for agronomists, allowing for precise yield planning well before the sowing season begins.
