Maize Glutexo Fao 260

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GLUTEXO MAIZE VARIETY:

GLUTEXO is a single cross hybrid (SC) that sets new standards in grain yield potential within its maturity group. The plants, characterised by medium height and stable stalks, stand out primarily due to their exceptionally thick cobs. These cobs, described as “duck bill” shaped due to their form, reach an unprecedented number of 22–24 rows of kernels, which directly translates into a huge yield mass. The variety has a flint-dent intermediate type grain and is reliable and safe to cultivate, showing strong stay-green and high tolerance to spring cold, allowing for earlier sowing. Moreover, GLUTEXO adapts excellently to challenging environmental conditions and produces exceptionally healthy plants tolerant to fusarium of the cobs.

Advantages of choosing GLUTEXO maize seeds:

- Highest yield potential: The variety with the highest performance in its maturity group, ideal for grain and CCM production.

- Extremely thick cobs: Exceptionally thick cobs (22–24 rows) guarantee maximum biomass accumulation and high profit per hectare.

- Tolerance to spring cold: Resistance to low temperatures enables earlier sowing and effective use of the growing season.

- High health status: Exceptionally healthy plants with high tolerance to fusarium of the cobs, ensuring high harvest quality.

- Strong stay-green: Maintaining leaf greenness extends the grain filling period, positively affecting the final mass and quality of the yield.

GLUTEXO PARAMETERS AND PURPOSE:

Average number of kernel rows: 22–24.

AGRONOMIC PRACTICES AND CULTIVATION RECOMMENDATIONS:

Agronomic profile and morphology:

GLUTEXO plants are medium-tall hybrids characterised by very stable stalks. The cobs are set very low, which supports stand stability but requires precise combine harvester adjustment. The fix cob type means that plants fully utilise yield potential at the optimal recommended plant density. The variety shows high tolerance to periodic water shortages, which combined with resistance to cold and fusarium, makes it a safe option for cultivation even in more challenging regions.

  

Sowing rate and soil requirements:

Due to the fix cob type, maintaining a precise sowing rate is crucial. The variety adapts to good and medium sites. Below are the recommended sowing rates for grain and CCM cultivation:

Sites	Recommended Sowing Rate [pcs/ha]
Good	85 000
Medium	78 000
