A high-performance dent corn hybrid with 74% starch content and strong genetic resistance to common field diseases.
Description
German Genetics for High-Yield Farming
The KWS Boliviano corn hybrid represents the pinnacle of German breeding, specifically engineered to provide consistent grain quality for intensive agricultural operations. As a single-cross hybrid, it is designed to maximize output in professional farming environments, delivering a predictable performance that producers rely on year after year.
Grain Quality and Performance
KWS Boliviano is distinguished by its dent grain type, which is renowned for its superior moisture release during the maturation process. With a starch content of up to 74%, it serves as an excellent raw material for both the feed industry and deep-processing enterprises. Despite a maturity window of 140–160 days, the hybrid balances long-term development with a clean, efficient harvest.
Resilience and Management
Disease resistance is a core pillar of the KWS breeding philosophy, and Boliviano is no exception. It offers significant genetic protection against common smut, as well as high tolerance to helminthosporium and stalk rot. By mitigating these biological risks, the hybrid provides growers with a safer yield profile throughout the season.
- Planting Density: Optimized at 60–65k plants/ha for moisture-limited regions and 75–80k plants/ha for irrigated or high-moisture zones.
- Usage: Exclusively focused on grain production.
- Maturity Class: FAO 90–1240 classification.
Choosing KWS Boliviano means leveraging the global reputation of KWS for excellence and genetic innovation. This hybrid is positioned as a dependable, heavy-duty solution for growers who prioritize grain quality, ease of harvesting, and a robust defense system against prevalent corn diseases.
