While primarily targeted at the silage market, N39-Q1 can also be taken through for grain with confidence. This hybrid is characterised by a tall plant and a large flex ear giving it excellent silage yields with high grain content. It has a sound agronomic package including very good stalk strength and drought tolerance.
CORSON Q1 is an exciting option for silage growers in the southern North Island as a mid maturity hybrid or in the northern North Island regions as an early maturity option.
