Tarraco
Tarraco is a mid-early maize hybrid from Saatbau, FAO 290, with dent kernels, for grain and silage; the maker scores its grain productivity potential as high and its dry-down as fast.
Main advantages
- Strong ear potential — maker's data
- Fast grain dry-down — maker's score
- Warm regions — very good results
- Continuous maize, late harvest — poorly suited
- Early, optimal, late dates — sow from +7 °C soil
Overview
About this product
Tarraco — a mid-early maize hybrid, FAO 290, with dent grain for use as grain and silage. The maker notes a high grain productivity potential, very good results in warm regions, a strong ear potential and fast grain dry-down during ripening.
The ear has 16–18 rows of 34–39 kernels. It can be sown at early, optimal and late dates; it can be grown in all zones, with the potential better realised in warm regions.
The hybrid is poorly suited to continuous maize and late harvest. It calls for a medium to high level of mineral nutrition.

Questions & answers
What farmers ask most
- Optimal sowing depends on crop, zone, and seasonal weather. Winter wheat in the Forest-Steppe: Sep 10–25. Corn: when soil is stable at +10°C at 10 cm depth. See the 12-month sowing calendar on the adam.ua blog.
