Description
BOTS maize seeds - grain variety FAO 250-260, silage FAO 260, biogas and bioethanol
Advantages of BOTS maize seeds:
- BOTS is a universal variety, providing a very high grain yield and the highest yield of high-energy green mass.
- A three-line hybrid showing very good adaptation to cultivation on light, less fertile soils, exposed to stresses related to periodic water shortages.
- High resistance to lodging and a very good health profile reduce the risk of quantitative losses in yields and deterioration of grain quality.
- Flint-flint-dent grain type determines the variety for cultivation also on heavy and slow-warming soils.
