THE “KULAK” OF HYBRIDS

  • One of the most sought-after OS maize hybrids from the selection programme of the Agricultural Institute Osijek;
  • Due to its qualities, it is becoming more widespread in Croatia and abroad;
  • It produces stable and high yields for all production purposes; it can thus be used for silage production and ear harvesting, but its most common purpose is kernel harvesting;
  • It has a medium-height elastic stalk with large leaves of excellent resistance, as well as deep and branched roots, which make it exceptionally resistant to lodging;
  • Medium large, upright and regular-tipped ears;
  • Kernels have a deep reddish base and are characterized by fast dry-down;
  • Increased tolerance to unfavourable climate conditions (water shortage and high air temperatures);
  • Excellent adaptability to various production conditions;
  • A hybrid that consistently produces better results than all other competitive hybrids in Croatia and a number of other countries.
