DLF Canada has released its new corn hybrids for 2022 including one of the first leafy full-floury silage hybrids to hit the Canadian market.
DLF’s new PS ExPect LFF RR is the only hybrid in its portfolio featuring the leafy full-floury trait, meaning it has 100 per cent floury digestible starch. According to DLF, the hybrid also has excellent emergence and seedling vigour, very good stalk and root strength, and very good stay-green going into fall, as well as a white cob colour for increased digestibility. This 2850 heat unit, 94 relative maturity hybrid prefers a seeding rate of 26,000 to 28,000 plants per acre due to its very tall plant height.
DLF currently sources its genetics from five main genetic providers, testing experimental hybrids against its current product and competitor check varieties in all DLF’s replicated trials across Canada. DLF Canada’s hybrid corn seed production is currently produced in the Midwest U.S. on fully irrigated acres, ensuring a reliable supply of certified seed.
