Description
Variety & Grain Traits
-
Hybrid type: A white, semi-flint maize produced via a three-way cross, known for its hybrid vigor and uniform performance.
-
Grain & cob quality: Semi-flint white grain with excellent drying and milling traits. Produces large, attractive cobs with well-filled kernels and strong husk coverage.
Maturity & Growth Traits
-
Days to maturity: Late-season variety maturing in roughly 140–150 days post-planting.
-
Standability: Exhibits strong stalks and good lodging resistance when planted densely.
Yield Potential
-
Exceptional yield capacity: Reaches up to 300 × 50 kg bags per ha (~15 t/ha) in optimal conditions.
-
Real-world farmer reports also indicate up to 180 × 50 kg bags/ha (~9 t/ha) under typical conditions .
Stress & Disease Resistance
-
Disease tolerance: Resistant to Maize Streak Virus (MSV), Leaf Blight, and Cob Rot—adapted to medium-high rainfall (Zones II & III) .
