Capello KS

Field Performance: Capello KS by Caussade Semences

Integrating Capello KS into our crop rotation was driven by a need for consistency. This French hybrid has proven itself over 110-120 days of vegetation, regardless of whether we are harvesting for grain or silage. From an operator's perspective, the biggest advantage is its uniformity: the crop matures evenly, and the red grain processes cleanly through the combine, allowing us to maintain good field speed without complicated header adjustments.

Resilience and Disease Management

What sets Capello KS apart is the reduced pressure on our spray schedule. We have observed excellent resistance to loose smut and common smut, which are typically major headaches for us. The hybrid’s resistance profile against Helminthosporium and stalk rot means we can cut back on fungicide costs without compromising plant health. It’s a low-maintenance crop that holds up well, even under challenging environmental conditions.

Practical Takeaways

• Dual-Purpose Versatility: Whether we need more silage for livestock or marketable grain, Capello KS delivers reliable tonnage in both categories.
• Operational Ease: Minimal lodging and predictable dry-down make for a stress-free harvest season.
• Economic Efficiency: The genetic resistance translates directly into reduced input costs, making it a very cost-effective choice for our acreage.

Capello KS is a dependable solution for growers who prioritize efficiency. It offers the kind of agricultural stability that keeps your machinery running smoothly and your budget in check.
