Earliness coupled with
yield and cell wall
digestibility
NK Mighty is an early-maturing forage maize variety suitable for
both favourable and less favourable sites. This early maturity is
complemented by good dry matter and ME yields as well as very
high cell wall digestibility.
A high cell wall digestibility value of 58.5% means that the leaf and stem of
NK Mighty will be broken down more quickly in the rumen than many other
varieties; increasing potential dry matter intakes.
