CENZUS Type of hybrid: Three cross
FAO group: 300
Use: Silage, grain, CCM
 


Properties:

Mid-early hybrid for universal production
During testing (three year registration tests) this hybrid showed the following results for grain production:
– yield of grain for this hybrid was 10,5 t /103 % to checks mean
Good yields of grain and high yield potential make this hybrid suitable for the production of high-quality silage
The hybrid has a strong stalk and shows resistance against diseases and pests
Good initial development
Very good yield at intensive growing conditions

Description of the plant
The plant is 240–260 cm tall with cobs set at a height of approximately 90 cm, the stalk has slight to mild anthocyanin colour
Cobs are slightly conical, very densely covered with grain, with a good husk cover including tip cover
Yellow-orange, dent-type grain, with a mild to distinct hole; the crown of kernel is yellow

Recommended plant density:
for silage: 80–85.000 plants/ha
for grain: 75–80.000 plants/ha
