Maize KS89XR

Silage Strategy with KS89XP

When livestock operations aim to increase milk production, the choice of corn hybrid becomes the foundation of the entire feeding program. The KS89XP hybrid from Ast Global Trading Limited is engineered for farms where both total biomass and silage nutritional value are critical. Thanks to its dent corn grain type, this hybrid provides high starch content in the feed, which directly influences the energy of the ration.

Agronomic Potential and Application

• Green Mass Stability: The hybrid shows excellent performance under intensive cultivation technologies, consistently delivering a high yield of feed units per hectare.
• Harvesting Technology: KS89XP is focused exclusively on silage production. The plant features a robust leaf canopy that remains functional until the wax maturity stage, allowing for harvesting with optimal dry matter content.
• Ration Efficiency: The dent grain structure promotes better starch digestibility in the rumen of ruminants, minimizing losses during transit through the digestive tract.

For an agronomist, this means predictability at harvest and no issues with biomass shortages when crop rotation is followed. KS89XP is a tool for those who plan their feed balance for the season ahead, prioritizing fiber quality and nutrient availability. By utilizing this hybrid, you address the need for high-quality silage, producing a feed with high energy density essential for intensive livestock farming.
