NEW GENERATION OF SILAGE HYBRIDS

  • Newer hybrid in the FAO 600 group which stands out with record yields in its FAO group;
  • Its basic purpose is whole-plant or grain silage production;
  • Medium-height, leafy, robust stalk, somewhat shorter than the stalk of the OSSK 635 and Lila hybrids;
  • Large and regularly formed deep and branched roots with high resistance to lodging;
  • Excellent adaptability and possibility of sowing in denser stands (for this FAO group) are this hybrid’s advantages with respect to stable silage production, as well as grain production in Eastern production areas.
