Description
Stability and Adaptability: The Role of 'Legion 400' in Agronomy
Genetics developed by the Breeding and Genetics Institute (SGI) are designed to minimize risks in regions with unpredictable moisture levels. 'Legion 400' is a simple hybrid that has established itself as a reliable asset for farms combining grain and silage production.
Technical Profile
This model sits in the mid-ripening segment with an FAO rating of 300-400 (classified as 90-1240). Its vegetation period of 120-140 days ensures predictable harvest schedules. The dent-type grain provides high test weight and fast moisture loss, which is essential for reducing post-harvest drying costs.
Key Advantages
- Phytosanitary Control: The hybrid demonstrates high resistance to common smut, ensuring the structural integrity of the cob even under stressful environmental conditions.
- Disease Tolerance: Bred specifically to resist helminthosporiosis and stalk rot, it significantly reduces harvest losses and storage risks.
- Versatility: Its suitability for both commercial grain production and silage makes it a flexible tool for farm feed management.
'Legion 400' is a product for producers who value proven domestic breeding that is resilient to regional climate variations. With stable yield potential and high tolerance to pathogens, it serves as an optimal solution for both large agricultural enterprises and medium-sized farms aiming for efficient production cycles.
