Description

DANUBIO, bred in Austria, is a dual-use, flint type variety from the early to mid-early maturity range with outstanding perfomance all over Europe. The yields are high and stable due to its high stress tolerance in combination with high qualities. Its high environmental stability distinguishes DANUBIO as KLIMAFIT. Other characteristics worth mentioning are its good and fast early vigour in this maturity range. This in combination with its good cold tolerance makes DANUBIO a suitable variety also for humid areas. DANUBIO shows a massy habitus and high plant height with low suscepitbility to broken plants which ensures good silage and biogas performance. With its large grain and good ear healthiness it always delivers high starch contents and is also recommended as grain maize variety.
