AS 13270 / AC 13270

Focusing on High-Quality Silage

Choosing the AC 13270 hybrid from Aspria Seeds is a strategic move for farms focused on livestock production with high standards for feed quality. In intensive dairy farming, the key factor is not just biomass yield, but the energy value and digestibility of fiber. This simple maize hybrid is designed specifically for silage production, ensuring consistent results when best agronomic practices are followed.

Agronomic Characteristics and Timing

The maturity period for this hybrid is 120–140 days. This range allows for efficient harvest planning, ensuring the optimal moisture phase of both grain and vegetative mass for silage pit storage. The hybrid was originated by Ihor Ihorovych Kovsharov, whose expertise in breeding has resulted in a product well-adapted to the modern realities of the agricultural sector.

Why AC 13270 is the Choice for Silage

• Biomass Stability: The hybrid develops a robust plant with an excellent ratio of grain to stalk and leaf mass.
• Manageability: The nature of this simple hybrid ensures crop uniformity, which is critical for mechanized harvesting.
• Energy Efficiency: Feed based on this hybrid offers high digestibility rates, directly impacting the productivity of the herd.

For an agronomist, working with AC 13270 means predictability. This hybrid does not require exotic nutritional schemes; however, it maximizes its potential in fertile soils with sufficient moisture availability. In production scenarios, it is chosen as a staple component of fodder crop rotation to ensure farms have quality silage throughout the winter housing period.
