<strong>Integra</strong> Leafy Silage Corn<br />

p r o d u c t i o n . <strong>Integra</strong> believes that our customers deser ve the best and our STP silage hybrids fill<br />
that order. These STP hybrids were bred specifically for silage. <strong>Integra</strong> breeds corn hybrids for silage corn<br />
production instead of tr ying to select grain hybrids to be used for silage. Silage corn traits must be bred<br />
into the hybrid.<br />
STP Leafy Silage Hybrid Advantage<br />
<strong>Integra</strong>’s STP leaf y silage hybrids are bred for high quality forage tonnage and whole plant<br />
digestibility of stalks and leaves. STP hybrids have tall, f lexible stalks, thinner stalk rinds,<br />
wider leaves, increased number of leaves (9-12) above the ear and lower ear placement for<br />
better standability. <strong>Integra</strong>’s STP leaf y silage hybrids have sof ter kernels and greater levels of<br />
digestible starch for increased milk production, compared to dual-type grain hybrids. Selected<br />
STP hybrids have a sof t, white cob trait for greater palatability and digestibility. STP leaf y<br />
silage corn hybrids have slow grain f illing periods, allowing the producer a longer oppor tunity<br />
to har vest at optimum moisture levels. Trials have shown that STP leaf y hybrids have a 2 1/2<br />
times longer window of har vest compared to dual-purpose hybrids. STP hybrids are highly<br />
adaptable across soil types and have an excellent agronomic package; drought tolerance,<br />
staygreen and root strength. Compared to grain hybrids, STP leaf y hybrids produce twice the<br />
amount of carbohydrates above the ear.<br />
What’s the difference?<br />
Grain (dual-type) Hybrids<br />
• Hard kernel texture and high test weight<br />
• Strong stalks for standability<br />
• High ear placement for easy grain har vest<br />
• Fast kernel dr y down for early grain har vest<br />
STP Leaf y Silage Hybrids<br />
• Sof t kernel with moderate test weight<br />
• Flexible stalks with thinner stalk rinds<br />
• Medium ear placement<br />
• Slow grain f illing period to open har vest window<br />

Silage Quality<br />
• Smart choice for dairy and beef producers<br />
that demand quality and tonnage<br />
• Excellent whole plant digestability<br />
• Moderate flex ear, 16-18 kernel rows<br />
• Tall plant height, 10 leaves above the ear<br />
• Retains kernel softness for a very long<br />
harvest window<br />
• Performs well across soil types<br />
• Recommended harvest populations<br />
26,000 to 28,000 plants per acre<br />
