LG 2305

French breeding for stable yields

The LG 2305 hybrid from the French breeding company Limagrain holds a strong position in the universal maize segment. This simple hybrid with dent grain type has become a popular choice for farmers focused on both quality grain production and high-nutrition silage. The uniqueness of LG 2305 lies in the combination of high adaptability to soil and climatic conditions and pronounced genetic resistance to the most common pathogens.

Phytosanitary barrier

One of the key features that makes Limagrain LG 2305 stand out is its "immunity" to field diseases. During the breeding process, the originator emphasized protection against a complex of diseases capable of reducing yields by 20-30% in stressful years. The hybrid demonstrates high tolerance to:

• Loose smut;
• Fusarium (both cob and stem);
• Common smut.

It also shows good resistance to Helminthosporium leaf blight and stalk rot, which significantly reduces the need for additional fungicide applications during the growing season.

Planting density recommendations

The flexibility of LG 2305 allows agronomists to vary plant density depending on the field's moisture level and cultivation technology:

• For intensive cultivation and sufficient water supply, the optimal density is 65–80 thousand plants/ha.
• In moderate moisture conditions or extensive technologies, a reduction to 55–65 thousand plants/ha is recommended.
• In fields with limited moisture reserves, the density should be 45–55 thousand plants/ha.

This range makes it a reliable tool for crop rotation planning. Limagrain has created a hybrid that is forgiving during sowing and delivers stable yields, confirming its reputation as a high-quality European seed product.
