Jakleen
For those wanting yield in a dry site, this new addition is for very favourable UK maize sites easily giving potential yields exceeding 50 tonnes per hectare. Has exhibited good drought tolerance in past 4 years. Suitable for lightest of soils and drill early at lower seed rate for best results.
Cob Ripeness
Jakleen has very large cobs with large flat grains. The grain becomes red as it matures indicating full maturity. Cob ripening days after Lovely + 25.
Maturity Group
FAO 230. Late maturing variety for the best growing sites only. Allows the full growing season to be utilised.
Quality and Digestibility
The very high digestibility of Jakleen and very high yield combine to produce very high ME yields to be clamped in favourable areas. Harvest when fully mature.
Yield
Sow at 36,000 - 40,000 seeds per acre (99,000 - 105,000 seeds/ha.) to maximise output. High yielding variety tested by NIAB since 2021 achieving over 20t/DM/Ha. and producing the highest yield in 2023 of 22.5t/ha.
