Celong maize is a universal variety in the generative type. Plants of this variety are not too tall, but very well-leaved, with a powerful cob, which guarantees a high grain yield or the preparation of silage with a high proportion of grain in its structure. The variety has medium to better soil requirements and is characterized by early flowering, which makes it resistant to the heat of July. In the registration experiments, the grain yield was – 104% of the standard (112 dt/ha), the number of plants broken at harvest – 0.9% (standard – 2.6%) and the grain moisture at harvest – 22.5% (standard – 24.3% ).
CELONG quality indicators (silage)

- NDF content in the whole plant: 46.62 %
- Fiber digestibility in the whole plant: 57.20 %
- SNDF in the whole plant: 56.11 %
- Digestible organic matter: 68.22 %
- NEL: 6.45 MJ/kg
