Description
Barkley maize seeds - grain variety FAO 250 and bioethanol
Advantages of Barkley maize seeds:
- New medium-early single hybrid with excellent grain yield potential.
- Excellent adaptation to less fertile sites and stable yield under periodic water shortages.
- Very high plant and cob health genetically protects yield potential and helps minimise the risk of mycotoxin occurrence in the grain.
- High early vigour and rapid plant start provide less sensitivity of the variety to temperature drops in the early growing period.
