Stability and versatility: working with «71 BV»

When it comes to choosing a hybrid for a mixed cycle—grain and silage—the Serbian breeding from D.O.O. Agris predictably remains a top choice for cost-effectiveness. My experience with «71 BV» shows that it is a "workhorse" that forgives many agronomic lapses common in medium and intensive farming operations.

Field performance and harvest

The first thing you notice when heading out into the field is the stalk structure and cob attachment. «71 BV» shows excellent resistance to lodging, which is critical late in the season when gusty winds and rain could otherwise ruin all efforts. During threshing, the grain separates easily from the cob, and the hybrid's moisture release allows for timely harvesting, avoiding extra costs for elevator drying.

Versatility of use

• Forage base: The silage mass is well-balanced in terms of nutrition. Livestock show high palatability, which indicates an optimal ratio of fiber and starch in the green mass.
• Grain production: As commercial grain, this hybrid consistently produces filled cobs with high test weight. We use it in our own feed mixes, as its energy value helps reduce the share of purchased additives.

If you are looking for predictable results without unnecessary complexity or overly demanding protection schemes, D.O.O. Agris offers a balanced option. It is a case where seed costs are fully offset by harvest reliability, whether you are producing silage for the farm or grain for the market.
