Silage Maize

Agrotech, spol. s r. o., 2024

Proven results in silage maize

The effectiveness of Green On® Maize was verified in an on-farm trial by Agrotech, spol. s r. o. on a field of 27.1 ha in the Wallachia region. The aim of the trial was to compare the yield of silage maize after application of Green On® with an untreated control.

The product was applied at a dose of 0.75 kg/ha at BBCH 17–18 (7–8 leaves).

Harvest results

The harvest was carried out using yield mapping, which allowed an accurate comparison of the treated and untreated parts of the field.

The yield map clearly showed the higher production potential of the crop treated with Green On®. In the treated part of the field, the dry matter yield ranged approximately from 13.2 to 17.2 t/ha, while in the control part it reached approximately from 6.1 to 13.2 t/ha.

Harvest parameters

  • Area: 27.1 ha
  • Green matter yield: 40.5 t/ha
  • Dry matter yield: 15.3 t/ha
  • Dry matter content: 37.8 %
  • Starch content: 39.2 %
  • Crude protein: 6.1 %
  • Fibre (NDF): 36.6 %
  • Sugar content: 5.6 %

Benefits of Green On application

The application of Green On® supported a more uniform crop development and higher biomass production. The yield map confirms that the treated part of the field reached significantly higher dry matter yields than the untreated control.

Green On® helps to:

  • support root system growth,
  • increase plant vitality during the growing season,
  • mitigate the negative effects of stress conditions,
  • improve nutrient use,
  • increase the yield potential of silage maize.

Verified in practice

The results of the on-farm trial confirm that the use of Green On® is an effective tool for supporting silage maize production. Thanks to better crop health and more efficient use of nutrients, it helps achieve higher yields even under demanding growing conditions.
