MAIZE | ZEA MAYS
• Very huge plant –impressive optic
• High grain yields
• Best plant-health
• Most popular biogas variety
This hybrid is a new, higher level in the yield of corn grain and biomass. For warm regions KING® is the best hybrid for biomass production - indicative yield approx. 9,400 m3 / xa. KING® develops very tall plants. Due to the thick and tall, well-leaved stalks and large cobs, the yield of fresh and dry mass is impressive. KING® has a very good tolerance to Helminthosporium turcicum. The seeds are treated with OPTI PLUS - a combination of fungicide, repellent and trace elements.
In many experimental fields of Bulgaria AGROKING for 2018 was a leader in competitive experiments between corn hybrids of various breeding companies.
