HYDRO MASTER


The real issue is not the total quantity, but the timing. Maize's water requirements are critical during the flowering period, when water resources are often most limited and heat stress is highest. To provide a concrete and easy-to-implement solution, Lidea has developed the Hydro Master solution, which includes the LID4409C variety.
