LEGO

A reliable silage solution for your farm

When it comes to producing high-quality silage, choosing the right hybrid is a decisive factor. The "Lego" corn hybrid from the VNIS breeding center is a choice that offers predictable, consistent results. With a vegetation period of 100–110 days, the plant successfully accumulates the necessary biomass, which is vital for livestock-oriented operations.

Agronomic performance and field management

This is a simple hybrid with dent-type grain. In the field, it behaves consistently: it shows excellent lodging resistance and strong defense against the most common threats:

• Fusarium stalk rot — reduces the need for additional fungicide applications;
• Common smut — keeps yield losses to a minimum;
• European corn borer — the hybrid features built-in genetic resistance, simplifying field protection efforts.

Plant density and yield management

Field experience with "Lego" confirms that the manufacturer's density recommendations should be followed. To achieve optimal silage mass development, we recommend maintaining a density of 55,000–60,000 plants per hectare under less favorable conditions, and increasing to 70,000–75,000 plants per hectare with sufficient soil moisture. This approach ensures a balanced stem structure and a high yield of nutrients per hectare.

For an agronomist, working with this hybrid is straightforward. The clear maturation timeline and predictable field behavior eliminate unnecessary stress during the harvest season. It is a reliable tool that performs its primary task effectively: providing high-quality feed for your livestock.
