Overview
About this product
A mid-early maize hybrid for grain, FAO 280. The kernel is flint-dent and the plant medium-tall; the ear carries 14–16 rows of 28–32 kernels, and the 1000-kernel weight is 330–350 g.
The maker writes that, because of its kernel type, the hybrid suits early sowing and both intensive and extensive farming. By the maker's score, drought tolerance is 8 of 9 and early vigour 8 of 9.
The sum of active temperatures to grain maturity (35% moisture) is 1720 °C. The recommended plant density at harvest is 80 000 plants/ha in optimal conditions and 60 000 in limited conditions.
