Maize NP 1861

Genetic Architecture of Fodder Efficiency

The silage potential of the Syngenta NP 1861 corn hybrid is focused on achieving maximum dry matter yield per unit area. The core of this productivity lies in the plant's architecture, specifically adapted for intensive livestock rations. The hybrid’s physiology enables prolonged photosynthesis, allowing for the formation of heavy, starch-rich grain even under moisture stress during the second half of the growing season.

Agrotechnical Advantages

• Grain Type: Dent, which ensures an optimal endosperm-to-starch ratio for better digestibility when processed for silage.
• Stability: High lodging resistance due to a robust root system, minimizing losses during high-speed harvesting operations.
• Phytosanitary Profile: Genetically inherent tolerance to a complex of common corn fungal diseases reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications.

Utilizing NP 1861 in fodder production allows growers to achieve an optimal balance between green biomass volume and the quality of the ration's energy component. Thanks to Syngenta’s breeding innovations, the hybrid possesses high 'start-up energy,' which is critical for achieving uniform emergence during early sowing when soil temperatures are not yet optimal. The high fiber digestibility makes this product an essential component for high-productivity dairy farming.
