KREEL
Stand Out in Any Maize Field
For heavy yields and early maturity Kreel stands out in any maize field!
Unlike the majority of NIAB Group 9 varieties, Kreel avoids the problem of a rapid dry down at harvest. This helps reduce the risk of acidosis from excess starch in rations with high maize inclusion.
Maturity:
- Very Early – NIAB Group 9 (favourable sites) Group 9 (marginal sites)
Characteristics:
- NIAB First Choice listing for 2011
- Exceptional yields in its class (over 19 t/ha DM)
- Slow dry down from 30%, preserving feed quality if harvest is delayed
- Good early vigour (7.0)
Quality:
- Leading energy values (equivalent to over 210,000 MJ/Ha)
- Very high relative starch yield (6.3 t/ha)
Recommendation:
Kreel is one of the highest yielding varieties in all NIAB trials, between 2006 – 09. It is suitable for all less favourable sites offering very reliable maturity and excellent bulk yields.
