New & Notable Maize Varieties
Low Phytic Acid Maize Hybrid: Released in 2022, this hybrid has high grain yield (over 95 q/ha), moderate resistance to diseases and pests, and reduces anti-nutritional factors, making it valuable for the poultry feed industry and reducing environmental pollution from phosphorus.
IMH 222, IMH 223, and IMH 224: Three medium-maturity field corn hybrids, with IMH 222 and IMH 223 having yields over 100 q/ha for the North-Western Plains Zone (NWPZ), and IMH 224 suitable for the Kharif season in eastern India.
DMRH 1308: A high-yielding hybrid with a yield potential of 100 q/ha, recommended for Rabi season cultivation in central-western India and Bihar.
Other Hybrids: Other in-demand hybrids include LQMH 1, IQMH 203, and DMRH 1301, with multiple collaborations established with seed companies for their production and marketing.
