CSM 6521

Engineering approach to yield potential

The French breeding school of Caussade Semences prioritizes the physiological stability of the KSM 6521 hybrid. At the core of this hybrid lies not just a set of genetic markers, but a concept of "adaptive metabolism," which allows the plant to redistribute plastic substances into the grain even during moisture deficits in critical growth phases.

Productivity factors and plant architecture

• Grain type: Flint-dent. This provides an ideal balance between high test weight and rapid dry-down at the end of the season, which minimizes drying costs.
• Growth dynamics: Early start and intensive grain filling allow for the use of KSM 6521 in intensive crop rotations where timely field clearing is crucial.
• Stress tolerance: Caussade's selection is aimed at strengthening the root system, which is critical for performance on various soil types, ensuring efficient access to micronutrients and moisture in deep horizons.

Technically, the KSM 6521 hybrid is designed for farmers focused on predictable results. High tolerance to common maize pathogens allows for reduced fungicide application, while the robust stalk prevents lodging losses, simplifying the operation of harvesting equipment at high speeds.
