HYBRID FOR SOWING OF FIRST CROPS AND OF STUBBLE CROP

  • A newer early-maturity group hybrid that is widely adaptable and primarily intended for dry grain production;
  • Since becoming widely produced, it has recorded great production results in almost all localities in Croatia, as well as in Slovenia, Hungary, Romania and other countries;
  • Medium-height, robust stalk with lush leaves, characterized by high tolerance to lodging;
  • Medium-sized ears, compact and positioned at a medium height;
  • Due to its relatively short vegetation period and fast kernel dry-down during maturation, other than being suitable as a hybrid for sowing of first crops, it is also very suitable as a hybrid for early sowing of stubble crops when, during normal years (without weather extremes such as early frost, etc.), maturation occurs prior to the onset of low temperatures; the yield is then similar to the first crop.
