PYROXENIA

THE MOST EARLIEST MATURITY

Type of hybrid: Three-way cross – Tc
FAO group: 130
Type of grain: intermediate
Maintainer: Freiherr von Moreau Saatzucht GmbH, DE

Features:

  • extremely early hybrid generated for silage production in combination with high grain content,
  • can be sown relatively late as an intercrop after main crop cut,
  • higher sowed population for maximized yield potential,
  • fast dry down effect of whole ripening plant,
  • excellent fiber digestibility,
  • high starch yield from properly maturing corn cobs.
