Description
DKC 3642 maize seeds - grain variety FAO 260, biogas and bioethanol
Advantages of DKC 3642 maize seeds:
- High yield potential confirmed in registration trials in Austria, plot trials in Poland, and on production fields of many farms. It yields consistently at a high level in very different weather years and performs well under stress conditions.
- Dent type grain and husks loosely covering the cobs ensure very rapid water release in the final maturation stage.
- Within its maturity group, it is characterised by high early vigour and tolerance to spring temperature drops.
- It features high resistance to most diseases occurring in maize.
