P7034 - Medium maturity maize
FAO 180-190
P7034 has firmly established itself as a leading mid maturity hybrid in both forage and AD situations
Utilising high yielding “Dent” genetics in an earlier to harvest hybrid enables the variety to be grown in all but the most marginal of sites and it has proved to be an exceptionally consistent hybrid across varying soil types and geographical locations
P7034 is a very robust plant type with exceptional eyespot and fusarium tolerance which also makes it suitable for grain maize production
The genetic make up of P7034 makes it ideal for those growers looking to feed maize soon after ensiling without compromising starch availability

RGT Bluefoxx - Medium maturity maize
FAO 180-190
RGT Bluefoxx is a new variety from the RAGT stable and features the perfect balance of yield and maturity.
Suitable for both forage and energy maize applications, Bluefoxx has remained poplar with growers due to its reliable yield, good quality profile and competitive price point
Excellent standing power completes a very robust set of figures and ensures that Bluefoxx will retain its market share in 2026

KWS Marcopolo - Medium maturity maize
FAO 190
Marcopolo is a new variety from KWS being suitable for all sectors of the maize market
Yield surpasses that of much later maturing hybrids and therefore Marcopolo is a great option for AD operators looking to bring harvest dates forward without sacrificing yield
Commercial crops drilled in 2025 have been truly exceptional with very large fully developed cobs on robust stems giving well above average yields
Due to come onto the descriptive list in 2027, Marcopolo already looks set to become a market leader in the FAO 190 sector
Good lodging resistance ensures the variety is suitable for the grain maize sector whilst high starch and CWD figures ensure that for those looking for a high yielding forage option then Marcopolo also fits the bill
Dry matter content at harvest % | 33.4 |
ME at harvest (mj/kg dry matter) | 11.41 |
Starch content at harvest % | 33.0 |

LG31205 - Medium maturity maize
FAO 190
LG31205 is a variety from Limagrain suitable for forage, grain and energy sectors and remains the product choice for growers looking to combine high yields with a relatively early harvest date
LG31205 has one of the highest dry matter yields in Limagrain and NIAB trials combined with exceptionally high starch, ME and cell wall digestibility figures
Maturity is within the FAO 190-200 range making LG31205 suitable for growing on favourable sites with good soils
Being a single cross hybrid ensures reliable and consistent performance and LG31205 has all the qualities to satisfy the most demanding of growers
Dry matter content at harvest % | 36.5 |
ME at harvest (mj/kg dry matter) | 11.5 |
Starch content at harvest % | 33.4 |
Cell wall digestibility % | 56.4 |

Blackjack - Medium maturity maize
FAO 190-200
Blackjack was introduced to the market in 2023 from the same breeder as Palladium.
Blackjack has a similar dry matter yield to its sister variety but is slightly earlier to mature
As well as exceptional dry matter yields Blackjack boasts high levels of starch, ME and cell wall digestibility, making it equally suitable for forage or energy applications
Blackjack has also demonstrated exceptional yield capability when grown under plastic film
Robust standing power completes an impressive set of characteristics for this high yielding and versatile maize hybrid
Dry matter content at harvest % | 30.3 |
ME at harvest (mj/kg dry matter) | 11.1 |
Starch content at harvest % | 29.5 |
Cell wall digestibility % | 56.4 |
