Krabas

Focusing on Maximum Grain Yield

German breeding by KWS traditionally prioritizes efficiency, and the «Krabas» corn hybrid is a prime example of a specialized solution for commercial production. Farmers choose this hybrid when the main seasonal objective is obtaining the driest grain possible with minimal costs for post-harvest drying.

Agronomic Features and Practical Application

• Dent Grain Type: This characteristic ensures intense moisture loss in the field. The hybrid is ideal for farms where harvesting logistics are tight, and it is crucial to complete the harvest before autumn wet weather.
• Simple Hybrid: Genetic uniformity is the main advantage of «Krabas». Uniform emergence and synchronized maturation allow for consistent combine harvester settings, reducing losses during threshing and increasing bunker purity.

In crop rotation, «Krabas» performs best on intensive fertility backgrounds. It does not require complex agronomic experiments: a standard protection and fertilization program, adapted to the specific growing zone, allows for the full realization of its genetic grain potential. Since the hybrid is designed exclusively for grain use, the plant's energy is not wasted on excessive vegetative mass but is concentrated directly in the cob.

Who is this choice for? Primarily for those operating in the commodity market or focused on long-term storage. The high test weight of the grain and the ease of threshing make «Krabas» a predictable tool for agronomists who value stable results, regardless of late-season weather variability.
