Maximise energy yields from an early harvest.
Promise forage maize is a brand new variety from the LG breeding programme. It is expected to be 1st choice on the BSPB/NIAB 2025 List.
Promise is an early, new generation variety with a maturity of 170 FAO. It is a perfect all-rounder with a class-beating very high DM yield, high ME yield and good disease resistance.
Promise is an earlier variety that will perform well on marginal sites, thanks to its excellent early vigour and good standing power.
