NAOMI KS

Silage corn for maximum productivity

The French breeding of the Lidea brand, represented by the "Naomi Ks" hybrid, is a specialized solution for farms focused on livestock production. The mid-late maturity and dent-like grain type make this hybrid a powerful tool for harvesting high-quality silage. The main task that "Naomi Ks" solves in crop rotation is to achieve the maximum yield of feed units per hectare while maintaining high energy value.

Agronomic potential and crop health

Yield stability directly depends on the phytosanitary condition of the field. "Naomi Ks" possesses significant genetic resistance to key pathogens threatening corn crops:

• Helminthosporiosis: high resistance preserves the leaf apparatus until the end of the vegetation period, which is critical for grain filling.
• Corn Fusarium: reduces the risk of mycotoxin accumulation in silage mass, ensuring feed safety.
• Common Smut: minimal damage ensures cob integrity and the quality of the future silage.

Sowing recommendations

To realize the genetic potential of the hybrid, it is essential to choose the correct planting density based on the moisture conditions of your region:

• With sufficient moisture (intensive technologies): maintain 75–80,000 plants per hectare.
• In conditions of limited moisture: reduce the density to 60–65,000 plants per hectare to prevent intraspecific competition.

This hybrid demonstrates an excellent rate of dry matter accumulation, allowing agronomists flexibility in harvest timing, focusing on the optimal wax maturity phase of the grain. By choosing Lidea "Naomi Ks", a farm relies on reliable French genetic material that minimizes the risk of harvest loss and provides livestock with high-starch feed.
