R 20021

Stable performance in early maturity

Working with the R 20021 hybrid from the French breeder RAGT, we get exactly what is needed to mitigate risks in regions with a short growing season. This simple dent hybrid is a workhorse for those who don't want to rely on the weather at the end of the season. It is predictable in terms of ripening, which allows for precise planning of the harvesting campaign.

Field resilience and crop protection

The main headache for an agronomist is the diseases that "eat" the yield potential before the combine even arrives. In the field, R 20021 shows excellent immunity to issues like helminthosporium and stalk smut. This means the crops do not succumb to premature decay, maintaining stalk integrity until the machinery enters the field.

Versatility in application

We use this hybrid flexibly: if we see excellent grain filling, we aim for grain production. If we need to boost our fodder base, it provides high-quality and nutritious silage. The dent grain type ensures good moisture dry-down, which significantly reduces our drying costs at the elevator. The FAO flexibility allows us to adapt the crops to different climatic conditions without compromising the harvest volume.

• Type: simple hybrid.
• Usage: grain/silage.
• Resilience: high resistance to stalk and leaf diseases.
• Origin: France.

For the farm, this means a predictable result: we get an even, healthy stand that does not lodge and handles typical regional pathogens well. The harvest goes smoothly, and the logistics of the crop are simplified due to early maturity.
