Maize Keltico Fao 230

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE KELTICO MAIZE VARIETY:

Keltico is a versatile maize variety with an early FAO 230, which stands out by its results, achieving 1st place in COBORU trials in the 2020 and 2022 seasons. In registration trials, it achieved an impressive result of 105% of the yield standard. The breeder (SAATBAU) created a hybrid that stands out with both very high dry matter yield and intermediate grain type (FLINT-DENT). Keltico is an excellent choice for those expecting maximum performance and versatility for grain, silage and biogas cultivation.

Advantages of choosing KELTICO maize seeds:

- Leader in COBORU Trials: 1st place in official COBORU trials in the 2020 and 2022 seasons, confirming the highest performance.

- Versatility of Use: A universal variety for grain, silage and biogas production.

- Maximum Yield Potential: Very high dry matter and grain yield (105% of the standard in registration trials).

- Early and Stable: Early FAO 230 guarantees reliable harvest also in northern growing areas.

- Tolerance to Sites: Suitable for cultivation on poorer sites.

Usage direction: grain, silage, biogas.

Breeder: SAATBAU.

AGROTECHNICS AND CULTIVATION RECOMMENDATIONS:

Variety characteristics:

Keltico is a variety with a FIX cob type, which ensures high yield stability and large grain mass. The intermediate grain type (FLINT-DENT) combines high initial vigour (flint trait) with rapid water release (dent trait), which favours harvesting grain with reduced moisture. The early FAO 230 allows flexible management of sowing and harvest dates.

Sowing rate and soil requirements:

Keltico is a variety tolerant of poorer soil sites.

The recommended plant density (plants per square metre) for grain cultivation is: 8-9.5

Note: The density per hectare is 80,000 – 95,000 plants/ha.
