Overview
About this product
Magnato — a mid-early maize hybrid, FAO 240, with flint-dent grain for use as silage and biogas. The maker notes a very high dry-matter yield, a high grain yield potential, high cold tolerance, fast early development, good cell-wall digestibility and high starch content.
The ear has 14–18 rows of 34–42 kernels. It can be sown at early, optimal and late dates, in all zones; the hybrid suits continuous maize and is not intended for late harvest.
The maker recommends 80–85 thousand/ha with sufficient moisture, 70–75 with unstable moisture and 65–70 with insufficient moisture.
