  • Tall hybrid for this maturity
  • Produces very high starch content silage
  • High grain yields and has potential for combining
  • Early flowering
  • Very good eyespot resistance
  • Flint grain texture so lower levels of rumen degradable starch

Grown In The Open

  • Adapted to all maize growing sites in the UK & Ireland
  • Wide planting window due to its earliness of maturity
  • Timely harvesting will minimise yield loss associated with over maturity

Grown Using The Samco System

  • Extremely early maturity
  • Very high starch content
  • High grain yields
