Maize DKC3711

Maximizing Biogas and Silage Yields

When producing silage for energy purposes—whether it's bioethanol or biogas—the starch content is the primary driver of profitability. The DKS3711 hybrid from Monsanto is a proven workhorse that consistently hits that 72% starch mark. Based on field observations, the 90-100 day maturity window is a massive advantage for logistics planning, ensuring the silage window is managed efficiently.

Resilience and Protection

From an operational standpoint, disease management is crucial. It also holds up well against Fusarium and stalk rot, ensuring that the biomass remains healthy throughout the entire growing season until harvest.

Seeding Flexibility

Whether you are operating on lower-yielding soil or intensive acreage, the range of 65,000 to 85,000 plants per hectare allows for precise optimization. Even at the higher end of the density spectrum (80-85k), the stalks maintain excellent integrity, which makes harvesting significantly smoother.
