KENTAURUS Silage maize -
The ultra early heavyweight
This variety matures very early without the usual yield penalty of
other early varieties. The combination of high yield with above average
M.E. means KENTAURUS produces more energy per acre
than any other early variety. This coupled with the highest starch yield
of any variety, bar one late variety, makes it an outstanding maize.
In fact NIAB have been so impressed by it they have given it their award
for the most outstanding variety of 2010. To obtain the optimum plant
population it is recommended to be sown at 43,000 seeds per acre.
