Maize KWS TACO

German genetics for consistent performance

The KWS Tahoe (KВС Тахо) hybrid represents the precision and quality of German breeding from Kws Saat Se & Co.Kgaa. Positioned within the medium-early maturity segment, this hybrid is designed to bridge the gap between early maturity and high yield potential. Its robust health profile, particularly against Fusarium and various smut diseases, makes it a reliable asset for modern agronomic practices focused on risk management.

Key characteristics and yield potential

With its dent-type grain, this hybrid offers excellent moisture release at maturity, contributing to harvest efficiency and lower drying costs. KWS Tahoe is a versatile performer, suitable for both grain production and high-quality silage, making it a flexible choice for diverse farming operations.

• Maturity: Medium-early.
• Grain type: Dent (зубовидний).
• Key tolerances: High field resistance to Fusarium, boil smut, and head smut.
• Versatility: Universal use (grain/silage).

Optimal seeding density

To maximize the genetic yield potential of KWS Tahoe, growers should adjust seeding rates based on regional moisture availability and local environmental conditions:

• High moisture availability: 70,000–80,000 plants/ha.
• Moderate moisture availability: 65,000–70,000 plants/ha.
• Dryland/Low moisture conditions: 50,000–60,000 plants/ha.

Farmers choose KWS Tahoe for its predictable performance and structural integrity. Its strong stalks and healthy cobs ensure stable yields, even when harvest conditions are less than ideal. By balancing technical performance with environmental resilience, this hybrid serves as a cornerstone for reliable corn production.
