Ultra-early maturity maize

KWS Cito - Ultra-early maturity

KWS Cito is the earliest variety in the KWS portfolio and is a first choice variety on both the NIAB BSPB favourable and less favourable descriptive lists

Cito boasts the highest levels of starch, ME and cell wall digestibility of any of the ultra early competitors and remains the best option for those looking for early harvest and maximum feed value
Cito consistently produces very large mature cobs and is well proven over a range of soil types and geographical areas
With more focus being given to the environmental aspects of growing maize, Cito offers the opportunity to grow an extremely energy dense crop and be able to harvest early minimising soil damage and road contamination

KWS Portobello - Unltra-early maturity

KWS Portobello is a new FAO 160 variety from the leading maize breeder in the UK

Capable of exceptional yields for such an early variety achieving 105% of control and up to 19 tonnes of dry matter per hectare
Starch levels of up to 40% make Portobello a truly outstanding high feed value variety and with a class leading early vigour score of 8.0 Portobello ticks all the boxes for an ultra early maize variety
As well as being suitable for high performance livestock regimes Portobello also has a place as the early variety in a balanced energy maize portfolio due to its dry matter yield exceeding that of far later maturing varieties traditionally used in that sector
