Popis: Since silage maize varieties are bred under climatic conditions different from those prevailing in the mountain area of South Tyrol, the silage maize varieties currently available on the market are locally tested every year since 1976. Local variety testing is of great importance because, together with results and information of variety trials from neighboring countries with similar climatic conditions, it makes it possible to find suitable, adapted varieties for the respective area. A total number of 45 silage maize varieties were tested 2019 in the variety testing program of South Tyrol. Based on the results of this variety testing, a recommendation list with the best suited varieties for the different South Tyrolean climatic areas is drawn up annually and directly implemented by the few local companies selling maize seed.
