A predictable mid-maturing hybrid with high starch content and robust resistance to fungal diseases.
Description
Consistent Yields Under Any Conditions
When selecting seed material for the season, we prioritize result predictability. RAGT’s French breeding program has always been synonymous with high-tech performance, and the "Luxus" hybrid is a real workhorse in this regard. It is a mid-maturing, flint-dent hybrid that has proven to be a top performer in temperate climate conditions.
Agronomic Resilience in the Field
What really stands out in the field is the plant's natural defense system. In our conditions, where spring moisture often leads to fungal issues, "Luxus" shows excellent resilience. During our operations, we observed high tolerance against head smut and various types of root and stalk rots. The crop remains upright until harvest, which is crucial for efficient combine operation and minimizing yield loss.
Grain Performance and Quality
The primary use case we tested is grain production. The hybrid demonstrates excellent starch accumulation, consistently hitting 72–74%. This makes it highly attractive not only for feed purposes but also for commercial food processing. The grain is dense, high-quality, and easy to dry and store in elevators.
- Grain type: Flint-dent;
- Utilization: Grain, feed, food industry;
- Tolerance: Root rots, common smut, stalk rots.
In summary, "Luxus" by RAGT is a choice for stability. It doesn't require constant babying; instead, it delivers a predictable grain yield with excellent quality characteristics. For those focusing on intensive farming and looking to minimize disease-related risks, this hybrid is a dependable choice.
