KWS 513

Silage Excellence from KWS

The KWS KVS-513 hybrid represents a targeted approach for agricultural operations where corn is cultivated exclusively for high-quality silage and green mass. Developed by Kws Saat Se & Co.Kgaa, this hybrid prioritizes plant vigor and nutrient density, providing a competitive edge for livestock farmers aiming for consistent, high-energy feed production.

Agronomic Profile

As a dent corn type hybrid, KVS-513 features a growth cycle designed for optimal biomass accumulation. Its mid-maturity rating offers producers a reliable window for harvesting, ensuring that the moisture content is perfectly balanced for high-quality silage storage. Unlike multipurpose hybrids, this variety is optimized for structural integrity and nutritional profile, making it a reliable choice for intensive farming environments.

Optimizing Your Stand

Success with KVS-513 hinges on precise density management. Matching your seeding rate to local water availability is critical for achieving maximum output:

• Irrigated or high-moisture zones: 70,000–80,000 plants per hectare.
• Moderate moisture conditions: 55,000–65,000 plants per hectare.
• Arid or extensive farming regions: 45,000–50,000 plants per hectare.

Adhering to these density parameters prevents nutrient competition and ensures that each plant develops the robust architecture required for excellent silage yields.

Why choose KVS-513?

In a market often flooded with grain-focused hybrids, KVS-513 stands out as a specialized solution. Its clear orientation toward green mass and fodder makes it a staple for operations that prioritize herd performance through superior feed quality. By choosing a dedicated silage hybrid from KWS, growers gain predictable results that directly contribute to the profitability of their animal production sector.
