About this product

LG Midnight Corn (FAO 240)

LG Midnight is a mid-early, dent-type grain corn (FAO 240) registered in Ukraine and positioned for medium- to high-intensity production across the Forest-Steppe and Polissia zones. Its standout traits are fast grain dry-down (9/9) and drought tolerance (9/9), which sustain performance through dry spells and continental conditions.

Loose smut and common smut tolerance both rate 9/9, with lodging resistance at 8/9 and early growth vigour at 8/9. Sow into warmed soil at 50–75 thousand seeds per hectare, reducing density in drier zones.
