Overview
About this product
An early-maturing maize hybrid, FAO 230, for grain and silage. The kernel is flint and the plant medium-tall; the ear carries 14–16 rows of 28–32 kernels, and the 1000-kernel weight is 310–330 g.
The sum of active temperatures to grain maturity (35% moisture) is 1640 °C and to silage maturity 1470 °C. By the maker's score, early vigour is 8 of 9 and starch content 9 of 9.
The maker writes that the grain suits grits production. The recommended plant density at harvest is 75 000 plants/ha in optimal conditions and 65 000 in limited conditions for grain, and 95 000 and 70 000 for silage.
