A reliable hybrid for stable grain production and nutritious silage with high disease resistance.
Description
Stability and Adaptability in the Field
"SI Kontrakt" from the Swiss agricultural leader Syngenta is a classic dent corn hybrid that has established itself as a reliable tool for growers focused on consistent grain yields and high-quality silage. Developed for those who prioritize predictability and modern agricultural efficiency, this hybrid minimizes the risks associated with varying climatic conditions.
Biological Potential and Resilience
The core strength of "SI Kontrakt" lies in its robust immune system. The hybrid demonstrates high tolerance to a complex of diseases that frequently impact margins, including ear fusarium, common smut, and various stalk and root rots. Thanks to its genetics, the crop effectively resists soil-borne pests during early vegetation stages, ensuring an optimal plant population density.
With a maturity period ranging from 120 to 140 days, "SI Kontrakt" rewards precise agronomic management. Depending on soil fertility and management intensity, the recommended planting density ranges from 55,000–60,000 plants/ha in extensive systems to 80,000–85,000 plants/ha in intensive conditions with sufficient moisture. With a starch content of 72–75%, it is an excellent choice for both commercial grain production and high-nutrition silage.
Why Growers Choose Syngenta
Choosing this hybrid means relying on world-class Swiss breeding standards. The seed production, handled by Syngenta in collaboration with MRI Seed Zambia Limited, guarantees high germination energy and field uniformity. "SI Kontrakt" is a balanced solution for farmers committed to field hygiene and maximizing yield per hectare.
