Spanish term or phrase: braquítico

I am doing a translation on a corn hybrid seed and I have several difficulties in the following sentence:

La cruza simple (? X ?) es enana (braquítico), al no haber suficiente viento en la época de polinización, se dificulta el cruzamiento y se requiere levantar el polen con mochilas de motor, la cruza simple ? X ?, rinde de # a # de semilla contra # a # t/ha de la cruza simple ?X?;

What is braquítico?
