A brand new, very early maize variety expected to be 1st choice on the BSPB/NIAB 2025 List.
Duke is an ultra-early variety which is suited to marginal sites or for short season. It is also very high yielding for such an early variety. It's high starch content and good digestibility means it is a top performing forage maize variety for livestock.
