Maize DRAVA 404

German genetics for maximum yield

The «DRAVA 404» maize hybrid from the renowned breeding house Saaten-Union is a balanced solution for farmers who prioritize both high grain yield and high-quality silage production. Thanks to its dent-type grain, the hybrid demonstrates excellent moisture dry-down at the end of the growing season, which is critical for reducing post-harvest drying costs.

Agronomic potential

The key feature of «DRAVA 404» is its versatility. Unlike narrow-niche hybrids, this variety is adapted to intensive farming systems where stability across various weather patterns is paramount. Saaten-Union’s German breeding program traditionally emphasizes vigorous early-season growth, allowing the crop to close rows quickly and effectively outcompete weeds during the early developmental stages.

Who is DRAVA 404 designed for?

• Livestock farms: the hybrid produces a significant volume of biomass, making it ideal for high-quality silage with high starch content.
• Grain operations: the dent-type grain ensures high test weight and excellent threshing performance.
• Temperate climate regions: the hybrid's adaptability allows it to achieve its full potential even under fluctuating temperature conditions.

It is worth noting that to achieve the best results, «DRAVA 404» requires adherence to optimal planting dates and a consistent level of mineral nutrition. It is a precise tool for professionals seeking predictable, high-yielding results across large-scale fields.
