Dry Land: SC 513, SC 533, SC403, SC 419 (coming soon), SC 301

SC 301

  • An ultra-early (3 months to maturity), maize hybrid with high yield potential that is comparable up to 7t/Ha.
  • It confers significant early maturity superiority (<110 days to reach physiological maturity at 1300 metres above sea level).
  • Excellent heat and drought stress tolerance make it suitable for areas with short rainfall seasons such as regions 4 and 5.

SC 403

  • Farmers' choice for medium to low rainfall areas.
  • SC 403 is a very early maturing white grained hybrid.
  • Takes 119-127 days to reach physiological maturity at 1300 metres above sea level.
  • Stable across regions and seasons.
  • Heat and drought stress tolerant hybrid.  Has a yield potential of up to 9 t/Ha

SC 419 (Coming Soon)

  • Very early maturing white and hard dent grained maize hybrid.
  • Reaches physiological maturity in 128 days at 1300 meters above sea level.
  • Excellent global and regional adaptation. An all rounder variety from region 2 to 4 of Zimbabwe.
  • Highest yielder in the 400 series category with potential yield of up to 12 t/Ha.
  • Can easily out-compete some hybrids in the 500 and 600 series maturity groups.

SC 513

  • Popular variety with farmers
  • An early maturing white grained maize hybrid. Reaches physiological maturity in 137 days at 1300 metres above sea level.
  • Pan-African early maturing hybrid that performs across diverse environments. Excellent drought tolernance. Elastic maize hybrid, good for both high and low potential environments with yield potential of up to 10 t/ha.

SC 533

  • Exceptional heat and drought tolerance
  • Semi-flint grain type with good pounding quality
  • High yielding up to 10 T/Ha
