Have you also harvested concentrate maize?
More Megusto has been grown again this season. And not without reason. For the fifth year in a row, the Megusto maize variety has scored best with the highest nutritional value yield on the Recommended Variety Lists of the Netherlands and Belgium.
This clearly demonstrates its quality, which, in addition to the highest grain yield, is also reflected in good figures for agricultural properties, such as early flowering. Growers of Megusto also praise the high nutritional value based on the silage results. This is not only reflected in a high starch yield, but also a high starch concentration and digestion coefficient of the total organic matter. This results in a lot of glycogen energy, which has a strong milk-floating effect, so that you can save on concentrate costs.
Megusto is an early single hybrid with an FAO 220. The variety is therefore very suitable for sowing on all soil types throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. Due to its earliness in the grain, the variety is also very suitable for harvesting before 1 October. This year, too, many companies succeeded. The cultivation of Megusto in combination with the post-sowing of Fast Spring Rye is therefore a very interesting solution for harvesting a lot of energy and a lot of protein from your own soil. The breed is characterized by its sturdy and stocky stature. The flasks are very uniform and filled to the top. Ask your regional KWS advisor for addresses of growers with this practical experience!
With Megusto, more starch is harvested per hectare and per kilogram of dry matter, so that less concentrate has to be purchased. That is why the term 'concentrate maize' is a very appropriate one for Megusto.
