Profile
WAKEFIELD, a hybrid with a significant share of dent genetics, has a high starch content for feed rations containing a lot of grass. The mid-late maize permits the use for both silage and grain because to its excellent grain and biomass yields. Moreover, it allows a great dry-down of the kernels due to the dent maize genetics.
- Dent maize for high grain yields
- Good digestibility
- High starch content
