Lindsay, Ontario, Canada
September 10, 1999Pickseed Canada, Inc.
continues an outstanding record for introducing crop varieties that produce exceptional
livestock feed with the introduction of PICKSEED's "EX" Silage Corn Hybrids -
hybrids that contain the "LeafyTM "gene. The LeafyTM gene ensures the production
of extra leaves above the ear - extra leaves that produce extra yield and improve the
digestibility of the silage (since the leaves are at a juvenile stage of development at
harvest).
ExSeed |
2300 - 2400 CHU.
Plant ExSeed in the earliest silage growing areas of Canada. ExSeed is a LeafyTM
corn with soft, dent grain an-cFtonn-es- of production to exceed your expectations. |
ExSile |
2400 - 2500 CHU.
Eastern Ontario, as well as many areas of Quebec and Atlantic Canada can now enjoy the
benefit of LeafyTM corn. ExSile has the added bonus of some flint
background, which enables it to grow under cooler, less corn friendly conditions than a
pure dent corn. ExSile topped the 1998 Atlantic Canada trials with almost 20% higher
yield than the competitors. |
ExPound |
2600 CHU. ExPound
is a pure dent cross with LeafyTM production and added yield. ExPound will put extra
pounds of milk in the pail or more meat on the carcass. |
EXEL |
2850 CHU. This tall and
LeafyTm hybrid meets the needs of most livestock producers in Ontario. EXEL has the
added trait of soft starch grain - grain that almost melts in the animal's stomach. |
ExMax |
3000 CHU. ExMax is a
dual-purpose hybrid that averaged 224 bu/ac in 3 locations in 1998. This LeafyTm hybrid
produces large cobs on strong stalks and soft, large kernels for easy digestibility. |
