Cornadi CS

Premium silage performance from French breeding

For livestock producers, the selection of corn seed is the most critical decision for annual fodder security. The three-way cross hybrid “Kornadi KS” by Caussade Semences offers a reliable solution for those targeting high-energy, highly digestible silage that optimizes dairy or beef cattle performance.

Agronomic performance and characteristics

Featuring a flint-dent kernel type, this hybrid provides excellent flexibility in harvest timing. Developed by French breeders (Caussade Semences and Lidea France), Kornadi KS is engineered to perform consistently across varying environments, ensuring a stable nutrient profile that simplifies the fermentation process in the silo.

Seeding strategies for your operation

To maximize your return on investment, adjust your plant density based on soil fertility and moisture availability:

• 70,000–75,000 plants/ha: Recommended for areas with limited water or moderate soil potential. This density minimizes inter-plant competition, ensuring robust ear development and a high grain-to-stover ratio.
• 80,000–85,000 plants/ha: An intensive management strategy suited for high-fertility soils or irrigated fields. This population is designed to push the limits of dry matter production per hectare.

Kornadi KS is a strategic asset for farms prioritizing high-quality starch and fiber balance. By integrating this hybrid into your rotation, you minimize the need for external protein supplements, utilizing the full potential of your own silage stocks for improved livestock productivity.
