Winning Combination of Extreme Early to Harvest
and Extremely High Yields
With very high yields, very early maturity, superb energy yield and very good starch content, IXXES provides the maize grower with a unique combination of these critical factors
NIAB 2010 descriptive list First choice
Very early maturity
Very high dry matter yield 18.3 – 18.8 t DM/Ha
Highest yielding earliest variety on less favourable 2010 descriptive list
Superb ME Yield
High Starch content
Excellent standing power
Good early vigour
Kentaurus
Ultra Early Forage Maize
Kentaurus sets the standard in ultra early maturity.
For maize growers looking to boost yields without compromising maturity, take a closer look at Kentaurus. With higher yields than Revolver, Leeds, Acclaim or Avenir and quality to match, set your standard with the UK’s highest yielding ultra early forage maize.

FURIOSO
Forage Maize
Extremely Early – High Starch Maize
Furioso is a very early variety similar to CROWN, from the same breeding program. Its overall yield in trials has been slightly lower than Crown, but cob yield and fibre digestibility are higher producing a very early variety with impressive nutrient density and high starch content. This variety is ideal for complementing grass based rations.
It is a compact grain type variety with exceptional lodging resistance. It has proven to be highly adaptable, producing consistent results across Ireland, UK and Denmark. It appears to be well suited to marginal sites, and has performed well at altitude in Yorkshire. Furioso has also performed well in NIAB grain trials.
Extremely early cob ripening
Good establishment vigour
Excellent standing ability
First choice for marginal sites
Starch range 32.99% - 38.30% (Olivers trials 2006)
D value range 70.39% - 74.04% (Olivers trials 2006)
