Status: NIAB Descriptive List first choice variety for favourable sites
Paddy is simply THE highest yielding forage maize on the NIAB Descriptive List*
When combined with a starch content of 32.3% and an ME content of 11.28 MJ/kg DM, Paddy's exceptional dry matter yield drives very high yields of both starch and digestible organic matter. With 33.5% moisture at harvest in official trials, Paddy has medium maturity; earlier than Salgado or Atrium and just behind varieties like Anvil and Beethoven.
This makes Paddy an ideal choice for farmers in mainstream maize-growing areas who are looking for high yields of quality forage.
