DRAGONSTONE

Grain corn - FAO 290 - Zh

The dent-accentuated three-way-hybrid DRAGONSTONE is a compact, very stable grain corn breed especially suitable for the medium-early grain corn production areas in Lower Austria, Upper Austria and Carinthia. In ripening behavior and variety type, DRAGONSTONE is comparable to DKC3912, a significant variety on the Austrian market up until recently. When it comes to yield performance, DRAGONSTONE (FAO 290) shows decent yield performance and closes the gap between MICHELEEN (FAO 250) and our main variety ES HATTRICK (FAO 310).
