Overview
About this product
Filmeno — a mid-early maize hybrid, FAO 280, with flint-dent grain for use as silage. The maker notes a high productivity potential and dry-matter yield, powerful early growth, exceptionally high drought and heat tolerance and a wide harvest window thanks to a marked stay-green effect.
At the same time, per the maker's recommendations, the hybrid is not intended for late harvest. The ear has 16–18 rows of 34–38 kernels.
It can be sown at early and optimal dates; late dates do not suit it. The hybrid is poorly suited to continuous maize.
The maker recommends 90–95 thousand/ha with sufficient moisture, 75–80 with unstable moisture and 70–75 with insufficient moisture.
