Description
One of the key advantages of KV 4 F 580 is its ability to keep lower leaves green during dry years, which helps maintain high silage mass yield. The hybrid consistently delivers good yields even under low soil nutrient levels. It is recommended for cultivation in regions where concentrated silage feed for ruminants is needed. Optimal planting time begins in the third decade of April.
Seed packaging is done in bags containing 70,000 seeds. The seeding rate affects the area that can be planted with one bag: at a rate of 50,000 seeds per hectare, one bag covers 1.6 hectares, while at 80,000 seeds per hectare, it covers 1 hectare. It is recommended to calculate the number of planting units based on area and seeding rate for efficient use of seed material.
