Profile

ACTIVO represents a significant breakthrough in spreading harvest dates across large areas, mid-drilling dates, and ensuring a reliable crop within marginal regions. ACTIVO naturally matures with stay-green traits, providing increased flexibility at harvest, resulting in top overall yields and exceptional quality for livestock or AD. Additionally, ACTIVO is well-suited to CCM production, excelling as a cob-filling varietiy with an intermediate starch yield and outstanding energy and biogas yields. In challenging growing seasons, ACTIVO surpasses medium-maturing varieties for the UK, setting new standards for exceptional yields and quality.

This variety is presently tested at the NIAB for national listing.

  • Quick juvenile development
  • Intermediate starch content
  • Great cob filling
