Early Region
KWS offers leading forage and grain maize hybrids for all growers in the central maize regions of the UK. For rations with a low to moderate level of maize silage, popular choices include KONTENDER and KENTAURUS, suitable for late drilling / after grass.
Whilst both ASCENDER and KREELoffer leading ME yields for rations with a high maize inclusion.
Our recommendation:
| Early Region | FAO | Use |
|---|---|---|
| 170 | Silage, CCM, Grain | |
| 170 | Silage | |
| 170 | Silage, CCM, Grain | |

ASCENDER - New! |
180 | Silage, CCM |
| 180 | CCM, Grain | |
| 200 | Silage, CCM, Grain | |
| 210 |
Silage, CCM, Grain |
The FAO number gives an easy read guide to maturity – the lower the number the earlier. E.g. 150= ultra early, 210-230 = mainstream.
