Yes! Seed Co has three yellow maize varieties, namely SC 506 with a potential of 6 metric tonnes (120x 50kg bags) per hectare yield and SC602 and SC608 with potential of 13 metric tonnes (260 x 50 kg bags) and 14 metric tonnes per hectare respectively. Yellow maize varieties produce sweet green mealies and are suitable for livestock feed. If one would like to grow it to full maturity, it takes 130-136 days.
There is no substitute to the right variety, and that’s why Seed Co always emphasizes on maturity series relative to intended area of production because the water resource is a highly dependent factor. Plant at the right time to optimise water use, provide right fertiliser at the right time and keep the crop weed free and healthy. Once the crop is healthy and well fed to help it achieve its required grain filling, you will get potential yields.

All our current maize varieties produce a single cob, so one kernel will produce one cob.
Insufficient fertiliser will give below potential grain yield.
