• Ultra-full season silage hybrid for Northland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty
• Huge cobs typically 20 kernels round with large kernels
• Very good staygreen with a long grain fill period
PAC 624 is a purpose-bred silage hybrid for early plant situations in the warmer northern regions and is firmly positioned as a market leader in this ultra-long maturity group. Large girth cobs packed with medium soft, starchy grain combined with very good digestibility ensures silage of excellent quality is produced.
The hybrid has good standability, however the sheer size of the plants means that it can become overcrowded at high planting rates, increasing cob height and reducing standability and cob tip fill. For this reason we recommend lower than usual planting rates that will still produce very high yields.
