Description

Variety & Grain Traits Hybrid type: Three-way cross, delivering strong hybrid vigor. Grain: Flint-like white grain, combining good drying and milling qualities. ?Maturity & Growth Notes Days to maturity: Medium season?about 130 to 135 days from planting. Plant traits: Features light green leaves, thick sturdy stems, and full husk coverage. Yield & Agronomic Performance Yield potential: Very high ? 12?14?t/ha, equivalent to 240?280 ? 50?kg bags per hectare. Standability: Tolerant of lodging; handles dense planting well. ?? Stress & Disease Resistance Drought tolerance: Good adaptability under low-moisture conditions. Disease resistance: Built-in tolerance to cob rot, gray leaf spot (GLS), Maize Streak Virus (MSV), leaf blight, and rust. ?? Adaptation & Ideal Regions Adaptability: Performs across Zambia?s major regions (Agro?ecological Zones I, II & III). Target farmers: Suited for high-yield, medium-maturity needs, especially in regions that require drought resilience and strong disease tolerance.
