A stable, simple grain hybrid featuring excellent pest resistance and predictable moisture dry-down.
Description
Field Performance of Farmsaat Farmaktos
Working with Farmsaat hybrids provides that classic German standard: it is not just about the yield potential, but about field consistency. Farmaktos is a simple hybrid that performs predictably even under moderate management, producing high-quality flint-dent type grain every season.
Phytosanitary Resistance
The primary advantage for a grower is the reduced need for intense chemical intervention. Farmaktos shows strong natural tolerance against boil smut and the European corn borer. During our cycles, critical issues with Fusarium or Helminthosporium were rare, effectively cutting down on fungicide costs. This built-in protection is a major asset in high-humidity seasons.
Key Agronomic Metrics
- FAO: 90–1240 — a flexible range for diverse growing conditions.
- Maturity: 90-100 days. The crop matures uniformly, which makes harvest planning straightforward.
- Usage: Grain. The grain is designed for efficient moisture loss, reducing drying costs post-harvest.
The German breeding expertise from Farmsaat, Freiherr Von Moreau Saatzucht, and Ludwig Feldmeier created a hybrid that balances biomass with ear development. If you prioritize reliability, low disease pressure, and grain quality, Farmaktos is a robust solution that minimizes operational risks and maximizes harvest output.

Corn hybrids are classified by maturity groups and by the FAO number. All corn hybrids are distributed according to the FAO scale. Under Central European conditions, a difference of 10 FAO units between hybrids results in a 1-2 day difference in their maturity. The higher the FAO... |

Dual-purpose hybrids: for silage and grain in all growing regions. These are "stay-green" type hybrids, meaning the plants remain green for a longer period. However, this does not affect the sugar, cellulose, and hemicellulose content, nor the degree of lignification of the plant... |
