A high-performing, versatile hybrid built for resilience and top-quality yield in both grain and silage markets.
Description
German genetics for consistent field performance
The 'Kiparus' maize hybrid by KWS represents the hallmark of German breeding, designed to offer high-level versatility for modern farming operations. As a simple hybrid, it has earned a reputation for its reliability, serving as an effective solution for both high-yield grain production and high-energy silage harvesting.
Disease resistance and agronomy
A major competitive advantage of Kiparus is its robust profile against key field pathogens. The hybrid exhibits strong resistance to helminthosporiosis, maize fusarium, and common smut. These traits, combined with a maturity period of 140–160 days, ensure the crop maintains its yield potential even under challenging environmental conditions. The grain, which is of the flint type, is well-regarded for its consistency in development.
Management and density guidelines
KWS recommends adjusting plant populations according to the specific harvest objective to maximize profit per hectare:
- For grain production: recommended density is 75,000–80,000 plants per hectare.
- For silage production: optimal density ranges from 55,000–60,000 plants per hectare.
By choosing Kiparus, producers gain access to top-tier KWS technology, ensuring a predictable and resilient harvest that meets professional agricultural standards.
