Description
Versatility and stability in your fields
НК Фортиус (NK Fortius) by Syngenta is a reliable choice for farmers looking for a flexible hybrid that performs consistently in both grain and silage production. As a simple hybrid with dent-type kernels, it is designed to mitigate risks in variable growing environments, offering professional results for diverse farming operations.
Why choose NK Fortius?
The primary advantage of this hybrid is its built-in resilience, which helps farmers maintain productivity without constant chemical intervention. Key resistance features include:
- Helminthosporium leaf blight: A strong genetic defense that keeps foliage active and healthy until harvest.
- Common smut: Effective protection that ensures crop quality, which is vital for high-quality silage.
- European corn borer: The sturdy stalk and robust morphology of the plant provide a natural deterrent to pest damage.
Field performance and usage
With a wide FAO range (90–1240), NK Fortius offers excellent flexibility in managing planting and harvesting schedules. It is widely used in livestock operations where consistent forage quality is required, as well as in professional grain farming where yield stability is key. The hybrid responds well to intensive management practices but remains reliable under extensive conditions as well, making it a highly adaptable option for various climate zones.
