Eurostar

French Breeding for Consistent Yields

The «Eurostar» corn hybrid from the French company Euralis Semences is a proven solution for farmers focused on versatility. In today’s unpredictable climate, this hybrid has established itself as a reliable tool capable of delivering stable results whether grown for grain or silage. Its flint-type grain ensures excellent yield indicators and long-term storage quality.

Agronomic Profile and Crop Protection

The key strength of Eurostar is its high resistance to common diseases that typically account for significant annual crop losses. Euralis breeders have placed special emphasis on the plant’s genetic immunity:

• High threshold of resistance to Helminthosporium leaf blight, which is critical in high-humidity conditions.
• Effective defense against common smut, preventing premature grain quality degradation.
• Biological resilience against Fusarium and stem pathogens.

This phytosanitary profile allows for a reduction in pesticide application, making the cultivation of this hybrid more economically viable.

Cultivation Technology

The maturity period of 100–110 days makes it an optimal choice for regions with moderate vegetation seasons. The FAO rating in the 90–1240 range underscores the crop's adaptability to various intensive farming conditions.

To achieve the maximum biological potential, the manufacturer recommends adjusting seeding density based on soil moisture levels: 65,000–70,000 plants per hectare for arid zones and 75,000–80,000 plants per hectare for areas with sufficient moisture. Proper density management allows for the realization of the genetically inherent cob productivity, ensuring a high yield of both commercial grain and high-quality forage mass.
