Maize Galina

Focus on high-quality silage with Hungarian genetics

Selecting a maize hybrid for forage production requires a balance between biomass yield and energetic value. The 'Galina' hybrid from the Hungarian company Kombiseed (originated by Woodstock and Sesvanderhave N.V.) meets the needs of farms focused on consistent, high-quality silage production. Its medium-early maturity allows for flexible harvest planning, ensuring optimal moisture levels for pit or silo bag storage.

Mitigating risks and production performance

A key attribute of 'Galina' is its resistance to Helminthosporium leaf blight. For agronomists, this translates into reduced fungicide expenditure and confidence in the integrity of the leaf canopy, which is vital for photosynthesis and sugar accumulation. The flint-dent grain type provides an ideal blend of starch content and fiber digestibility, directly impacting cattle productivity.

• Economic efficiency: The medium-early development cycle helps avoid soil compaction and harvesting issues in late-season wet conditions.
• Technological adaptability: The plant responds well to intensive management practices, showing strong returns on fertilizer application.
• Resilience: Proven resistance to Helminthosporium significantly reduces stress on crops in regions with high humidity or fluctuating temperatures.

If your farm aims to maximize energy output per hectare, 'Galina' is a reliable asset for your crop rotation. It is the perfect choice for managers who want to eliminate the unpredictability of leaf diseases and ensure consistent results for the winter feeding season.
