Overview
About this product
Alpedro — a mid-season maize hybrid, FAO 330, with dent grain for use as grain. The maker notes adaptability to weather conditions, fast grain dry-down, good drought and cold tolerance with resistance to fusarium; the hybrid shows its full potential in moist regions or under irrigation.
The ear has 16–18 rows of 39–43 kernels. It can be sown at early (+7–9 °C) and optimal (+10–12 °C) dates; late dates do not suit it.
The hybrid suits continuous maize and late harvest. The maker recommends 70–75 thousand/ha with sufficient moisture, 60–65 with unstable moisture and 45–50 with insufficient moisture.
