Triton
HSR Maize Seed
A short maturity hybrid that is ideal for either silage or grain. Triton has a semi-dent kernel and a plant with large leaf area and good stay-green. It has shown very good leaf blight resilience over the last two seasons and the ability to deliver above-average yields for both silage and grain. Triton is bred to perform under ‘dryland’ conditions, with genetics selected for water-use efficiency (WUE). A high ‘grain to stover’ ratio delivers high quality silage in a short growing season.
