Lexus

HIGH YIELD POTENTIAL AND ADAPTABILITY

LEXUS is an ideal variety for producers aiming for high yields, thanks to its large and deep kernels. With its 16–18 row ear structure and strong plant vigor, it delivers high performance across different climatic and soil conditions. Its strong resistance to lodging, along with its adaptability in years of high temperatures and drought, makes LEXUS an indispensable variety for main-season grain maize producers.

ROOT AND STALK STRUCTURE

The robust stalk and deep root system ensure plant stability even under challenging conditions, providing superior tolerance to lodging and water stress.

QUALITY COMPONENTS

LEXUS stands out not only for its yield but also for its quality, with a rich protein content and strong nutritional value.

TEST WEIGHT

With its well-filled kernels and uniform ear structure, LEXUS achieves a high test weight, offering significant advantages and increased profitability during marketing.

MOISTURE DRY-DOWN

Thanks to its rapid moisture loss under field conditions prior to harvest, LEXUS enables farmers to market their grain at higher value.
