Hybrid crops have proven to be an efficient, productive and, above all, yield-stable crop, particularly in stressful locations and under sub-optimal growing conditions for conventional varieties. The more difficult the growing conditions, the greater the head start.

This applies especially to unfavorable weather and soil conditions, unfavorable previous crops, scarce nutrient supply and increased disease pressure. This advantage of the hybrids is based primarily on the special heterosis effect, which leads to a more pronounced root system, a greater tendency to tillering and leaf development, as well as a better ability to compensate after exposure to stress.
