A reliable medium-early hybrid with strong disease resistance for consistent grain production.
Description
Consistent Yields in Changing Conditions
The «Klassiks» corn hybrid by KWS is a proven choice for farmers aiming for high-quality grain with minimized risks. As a medium-early maturity hybrid with dent-type grain, it serves as a versatile asset in crop rotations where the balance between yield potential and harvesting efficiency is paramount.
Agronomic Strengths and Performance
The primary advantage of «Klassiks» lies in its robust phytosanitary profile. In conditions of high humidity or intensive farming, the hybrid demonstrates excellent resistance to Fusarium and common smut. This resistance ensures grain quality remains high even during delayed harvest seasons, which is critical for operations supplying the grain market and feed production sectors.
- Maturity: 120–140 days, ensuring a predictable harvesting window.
- Grain Characteristics: Yellow-orange, dent-type kernels with high test weight and dry matter output.
- Density Flexibility: Recommended plant density ranges from 55,000–65,000 plants/ha (for less intensive fields) to 75,000–85,000 plants/ha (on high-fertility soils).
Field Application
«Klassiks» is the go-to option for growers focused on commercial grain production. Thanks to its plasticity, the hybrid makes efficient use of available soil moisture, a vital trait in moisture-stressed regions. Farmers value this hybrid for its reliable dry-down rate, which significantly lowers grain drying costs at the elevator. Whether used for grain or compound feed, the stable quality and performance of «Klassiks» allow it to unlock its full yield potential even in seasons with challenging weather conditions.
