Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to the mid-early maturity group, with FAO values varying from 210 to 260 depending on the region. It is a simple single-cross hybrid, which is a vigorous, tall plant with a large ear.

The primary use is for silage; however, in some regions, the hybrid is used as a dual-purpose variety for grain and silage production. The plant possesses the Stay Green effect and high tolerance to drought conditions.

Feed quality is characterized by high silage mass yield and starch digestibility reaching 90%. In several regions, the hybrid is grown using M3 technology.
