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) . Summary Table Trait Details Maturity 140–150 days (late-season) Grain White semi-flint, good milling/drying Cob & Husk Large, well-filled, full husk coverage Yield Potential Up to 15 t/ha (300 bags); 9 t/ha typical Standability Strong stalks; lodging resistant Disease Tolerance MSV, Leaf Blight, Cob Rot Ideal Use Cases Tailored for long-season environments where late planting is possible. High-yield farmers equipped with adequate inputs and management. Regions in Agro-ecological Zones II & III, where disease pressure is moderate. When maximum yield potential is a priority and longer growth can be supported.
