Hakeem Seed (Pvt.) Ltd. conducted a successful field demonstration of its HS-130 Hybrid Seed Corn across 8 acres in Vehari district during the Kharif 2024 season. The trial focused on evaluating the variety’s performance as a dual-purpose crop for both silage and double-cross fodder production.
Key Results:
- Average yield: 45 mounds per acre — significantly above regional average
- Leaf width: Broad and nutrient-dense, ideal for livestock feeding
- Silage quality: High dry matter content, preferred by dairy farmers for increased milk production
- Crop maturity: 90-95 days under standard irrigation
Farmer Feedback:
Local farmers participating in the trial reported a noticeable increase in milk yield from their cattle after switching to HS-130 silage. The variety’s strong stem and resistance to lodging were highlighted as major advantages over competing hybrid varieties in the market.
This trial confirmed HS-130 as Hakeem Seed’s flagship silage maize variety for Punjab’s livestock-intensive farming belt.
