Variety description

10 August 2026

The corn hybrid KWS Luce was classified in experimental studies as a mid-late variety belonging to the FAO 500 maturity group. Within the framework of agronomic trials conducted in a number of regions, the hybrid was considered as an object for silage cultivation.

Currently, the variety belongs to earlier breeding developments and is not represented in the manufacturer's current commercial catalogs, which may indicate its discontinuation or replacement by new hybrids.
