Mas 95.IR

Reliable yields under stress

When planning a season, the goal is to balance yield potential with risk management. Working with the French genetics of Maisadour Semences, specifically the Mas 95.IR hybrid, gives you that much-needed peace of mind. It’s a classic simple hybrid that performs consistently if you follow basic management practices.

Field performance and protection

The main advantage I’ve observed in the field is its response to the "Clearfield" (Euro-Lightning) system. If your fields struggle with weeds, this is a massive operational win: you spray, the crop stays clean, and growth remains uninterrupted. With a maturity period of 110-120 days, it reliably reaches harvest maturity before the onset of difficult autumn weather.

The disease resistance is top-tier. In seasons when neighboring fields were hit by phoma or sclerotinia, the Mas 95.IR remained healthy. The medium-sized, convex heads ripen well and do not shatter easily during harvest. The black seeds sit tight in the heads, which keeps harvest losses to a minimum.

Oil quality and economics

At the elevator, this hybrid scores well for its oil content, consistently hitting the 45-50% range. Given that the hybrid isn't overly demanding, this is an excellent outcome for commercial farming. It forgives minor inconsistencies in fertilization and truly rewards a standard, solid agronomic approach.

• Vegetation period: 110-120 days.
• Protection: fully compatible with the Clearfield (Euro-Lightning) system.
• Resilience: high resistance to rot, phomopsis, and verticillium.
• Yield: predictable performance with high oil content.

If you're looking for a low-drama, high-performance crop, Mas 95.IR is the type of hybrid that proves its worth long before the combine even hits the field.
