Description
DKC 3204 Corn – Quality and efficiency in silage
Producer: Dekalb | FAO: 240 | Breeding program: SILOEXTRA
Type of use: Silage, grain, biogas
Corn DKC 3204 is a medium early corn variety with SILOEXTRA Program, which combines high dry mass yield efficiency and excellent silage quality parameters. High starch content and good fiber digestibility make it an excellent choice for producing silage with increased energy value.
Characteristics of the variety:
- Plant height: Tall, with abundant foliage.
- Stock type: FIX – stable number of grain rows, even in changing conditions.
- Stock mounting: Medium – convenient for harvesting.
- Grain type: Flint/Dent – suitable for both silage and grain.
Agronomic features:
- Spring Vigor: 7,5 – rapid development in the initial phase of vegetation.
- Cold tolerance: 7,5 – resistance to changing spring temperatures.
- Lodging resistance: 8 – stable stems, minimal risk of losses.
- Stay Green: 8 – plants stay green for a long time, which improves the quality of silage.
- Drought tolerance: 7,5 – effectively copes with periodic water shortages.
- Removing water from grain: 6,5 – standard grain drying.
- Resistance to leaf and stem diseases: 8 – minimizing crop losses in difficult conditions.
The most important advantages:
- Outstanding silage: High starch content and very good fibre digestibility for better milk and biogas yield.
- Fertility: Very high dry matter yield, ideal for the production of energy feed.
- Versatility: Recommended for silage, grain and biogas, on poor to good soils.
- Variety from the SILOEXTRA Program: DKC 3204 meets the highest silage quality standards, dedicated to intensive agricultural production.
Application:
- Silage: Exceptional feed quality with high energy content.
- Grain: High yield for feed or biogas.
Soil locations:
It is adapted to cultivation on poor, medium and good soils, making it suitable for most farms.
