ZM 521 is a white semi-flint grain maize with excellent GLS resistance and was bred by CIMMYT for
Sub-Saharan Africa. It has an intermediate maturity.
ZM 521 excelled particularly under drought and low fertility conditions. The grain is flintier than
grain of commercial hybrids. Farmers perceive that flint grain dries more quickly and stores better
than dent grain.
