Fructis

Stable performance in any field conditions

Working with the 'Fructis' hybrid from Euralis Semences, you immediately notice its reliability. It is a classic simple hybrid with dent grain that behaves predictably in the field. The French breeding quality is evident in its remarkable disease resistance: fusarium and helminthosporiosis cause minimal trouble, while smut is rarely an issue. For an agronomist, this means fewer fungicide applications and much higher confidence in the final yield.

Flexibility for grain and silage

The versatility is the main advantage of this variety. We grow it for both grain and silage production. With a growing season of 120–140 days, the hybrid fits perfectly into the field schedule without requiring excessive grain drying. The FAO 90–1240 rating provides flexibility when choosing the growing region.

Recommended seeding rates

• 65–70,000 seeds/ha — for areas with limited moisture.
• 70–75,000 seeds/ha — the optimal balance for high-quality grain yield.
• 75–80,000 seeds/ha — for intensely fertilized fields with good water retention.

The Fructis corn is low-maintenance and handles standard farming operations with ease. It forms a robust stalk that holds the ear firmly, so lodging during harvest is never a problem. After several seasons of working with this hybrid, I can confirm it delivers a stable, consistent output, making it a reliable asset for our farm's portfolio.
