Crop losses caused by heat waves and drought have tripled over the last fifty years in Europe. To address global warming and drought, Lidea offers Hi Corn.&nbsp;This innovative solution combines two complementary varieties to sow at the same time in order to secure flowering, a critical period in the development of a corn plant.&nbsp;Sowing two different corn varieties reduces risks resulting from variation in soil and climate conditions and loss of pollen viability, by extending the pollination period. Increased pollen ensures fertilisation and guarantees increased yield for farmers.The hybrids in the Hi&nbsp;Corn solution have different maturity combinations, based on earliness and other characteristics, such as lodging tolerance, grain drydown, etc. to meet farmers’ needs.&nbsp;WITH HIGH CORN UPGRADE YOUR YIELD!&nbsp;<figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0-mTxtJGOg&amp;list=PLkaTUDzh8acd-DYTH8s7iHFgzhtGJ9sJQ"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k0-mTxtJGOg" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure>

HI CORN 

DUO SILO is a combination of two silage corn hybrids, which are agronomically compatible and complementary in terms of nutritional value. Hybrids are carefully selected for their important agronomic traits: high yield, kernel weight, maturity, plant height, lodging resistance and, above all, feed value.Sowing two different varieties evenly in the field helps to obtain homogeneous silage balanced in slowly and rapidly digestible starch. It guarantees two different digestion speeds to supply energy without risk of acidosis. The rapid starch will be broken down in the rumen while the slow starch will be digested in the rest of the digestive tract.The results of more than 100 tests conducted across Europe, Russia and Belarus, in technical institutes and dairy farms, confirm DUO SILO’s performance and beneficial effect on milk production:&nbsp;<ul><li>MILK PRODUCTION INCREASE between 1.7 L and 4 L per cow per day</li><li>MILK QUALITY IMPROVEMENT +0.5 points protein, +1.2 points fat</li><li>REDUCED RISK OF ACIDOSIS AND OPTIMISED RUMEN PH</li><li>COMPLETE GRAIN DIGESTION&nbsp;</li></ul>COMPLEMENTARY NUTRITIONAL VALUES &amp; INCREASED PROFITABILITY<figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/m7e3sJSBCMk?list=PLkaTUDzh8acd-DYTH8s7iHFgzhtGJ9sJQ"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m7e3sJSBCMk" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure>

The new solution BOOST &amp; GO combines four cumulative modes of action, operating at different moments to preserve the genetic potential during early stages.The first mode is crop protection to help the plant resist the main pests. Lidea has included Redigo against fungi, Poncho against insects, and Korit against birds.&nbsp;The second mode concerns provision of the right nutrients. In BOOST &amp; GO, Lidea has added a combination of essential nutrients for the early stages of corn growth to boost emergence.&nbsp;The biostimulant mode supports the development of the plant. Through better root development, the seedling is better able to use the mineral elements &nbsp;available in the soil.&nbsp;And last but not least, seeds have a very specific coating. This new approach ensures that the products are better distributed around the seeds and offers greater security for the user through better dust control.&nbsp;<figure class="image image-style-align-center"><img src="https://api-com.lidea-seeds.com/uploads/2023/04/boost_and_go_new.jpg"></figure>According to your needs, we offer the following options in the BOOST &amp; GO solution:<ul><li style="text-align:justify;">BOOST &amp; GO Bird - protection from bird attacks;</li><li style="text-align:justify;">BOOST &amp; GO Insect - protection from insect attacks;</li><li style="text-align:justify;">BOOST &amp; GO Bio - seed protection with organic components;</li><li style="text-align:justify;">BOOST &amp; GO Prime - biostimulant, nutrients, special coating.</li></ul>DISCOVER BOOST &amp; GO FOR OTHER CROPS:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/solutions/growing-sunflower/sunflower-boost-and-go">BOOST &amp; GO SUNFLOWER</a>&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lidea-seeds.com/solutions/growing-forages/alfalfa-boost-and-go">BOOST &amp; GO ALFALFA</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;

Excess water in some periods and water stress in others require the adaptation of farming methods and rigorous crop selection. Corn is highly susceptible to drought damage. For farmers, it can be complex to make the right decision when choosing a suitable variety.&nbsp;Flowering - a critical period in the development of a corn plant.&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:851.188px;"><img src="https://api-com.lidea-seeds.com/uploads/2021/08/cactus_solution.png"></figure>To address drought impact on corn cultivation, LIDEA innovates and has created a new label.&nbsp;The “CACTUS” label unites water-efficient corn hybrids.&nbsp;THE RIGHT VARIETY IN THE RIGHT SITUATION

Since the arrival&nbsp;in Europe of corn hybrids in the 1950s, the quality of seeds offered to farmers has been improving constantly. The average gain in yield over fifty years was more than 7.5 t/ha thanks to European flint and American dent genetics. Over ten years ago, Lidea set up a strategy focused on research into new genetic pools of corn families in order to pursue the genetic progress curve. After extensive inventory work assisted by molecular marking tools, the Lidea research team discovered an original source from tropical countries.“This family we call Tropical Dent® brings a very strong heterosis effect to our genetics, because it is very different from usual lines”&nbsp;– explains Pierre Carolo, Director of Lidea's Corn Breeding Programme.“With our hybrids, farmers can benefit from a clear step change in genetics, always with additional yield gains and consistent results in very varied soil and climate conditions, including in continental Europe.”Overall, the Tropical Dent® hybrids tend to bear closer resemblance to the European flint corns, with round, orange-coloured grains, but the desiccation process is much faster at the end of the vegetation cycle, like the American dent. This new Tropical Dent® source is being introduced gradually to the Lidea range by crossing with European flint to obtain early hybrids and with American dent to create late varieties.Today most of the corn hybrids sold on the market come from the well-known American dent or European flint genetic groups. A lack of diversity limits heterosis potential.&nbsp;Lidea invested in a global inventory of the genetic material to discover unexplored corn genetic sources, resulting in the Tropical Dent® family.&nbsp;The advantages of&nbsp; Tropical Dent® products are: yield, stability and drydown.Improved yield is ensured by the positive heterosis effect.&nbsp;Stability is provided by the wide testing network and statics meteo models,&nbsp;allowing the selection of the most suitable hybrids.&nbsp;And even if Tropical Dent looks similar to flint,&nbsp;it ensures very quick drydown before harvesting.
