Maize Solitaro

Versatile Potential from Saatbau

Austrian breeder Saatbau has brought "Solitaro" to the market—a corn hybrid that defies the stereotypes of narrow specialization. While most hybrids focus either on maximum grain yield or high-volume biomass, Solitaro demonstrates a rare level of flexibility. It is an ideal solution for farms looking to minimize risks by incorporating a crop with a broad spectrum of utility into their rotation.

Agronomic Advantages

• Triple-Use Vector: The hybrid shows stable performance when grown for grain, silage, and is also suitable for popcorn processing. This versatility allows farmers to decide the final form of their crop based on market conditions.
• Reliability of Austrian Breeding: Originating from the Saatbau Linz breeding centers, Solitaro is well-adapted to Europe's variable climate. The hybrid exhibits strong early-stage growth vigor, which is critical for early seeding.
• Grain Quality: High starch content and the physical properties of the kernels make it highly attractive for the processing industry, including the snack food segment.

Who Should Choose "Solitaro"?

This hybrid is an optimal choice for diversified agricultural businesses. If your operations combine livestock farming with commercial grain production, Solitaro allows you to cover both high-quality silage needs and grain storage requirements with a single hybrid. Solitaro has virtually no weaknesses given its intended use; however, it is essential to remember that to reach its maximum yield potential, producers must adhere to fertilizer application rates and planting densities appropriate for intensive farming technologies.

By partnering with Saatbau, you gain predictable results and genetic purity, backed by the long-standing expertise of an Austrian originator.
