HSR Seeds is one of Australia and New Zealand’s leading producers of maize seed.
The full range of HSR hybrids is carefully evaluated and researched across multiple sites to ensure consistency and performance in a range of conditions.
The ethos of ‘honesty in trialling’ (HIT) delivers reliable performance data that can be regarded with truthful respect and unquestioned integrity.
The measure of a hybrid is its ability to perform when under pressure, and growing conditions are far from optimal.
HSR Triton (75 CRM) is a new release with a genetic package sourced from Europe, and is suited to both silage and grain situations.
It achieved silage yields in the vicinity of 24 tonnes/ha DM in commercial paddocks last year, with grain yields reaching 12 tonnes/ha.
There is further excitement with the Australian release of Triton — its northern leaf blight tolerance score is 9 and regarded as top level.
HSR Asterix (83 CRM) is a very quick silage or grain option that is well suited for growers seeking a rapid, high-yielding option that delivers high quality ‘starchy’ feed grain and silage yields.
HSR Obelix (90 CRM) is another hybrid that has delivered very good results across many regions in southern Australia.
Obelix is a tall plant with an upright stature and an excellent all-round agronomy package.
On the back of exceptional performance, Obelix is gaining a reputation in southern Australia as the ‘starch king’.
HSR Ceres (115 CRM) has been bred for yield, strong vigour and disease tolerance.
Ceres has proven performance under stress and, because of high grain yields and excellent stay-green properties, it has developed into a leading silage hybrid in the mid-maturity bracket.
From 75 CRM through to 120 CRM, there really is a hybrid to suit every situation, and with new genetic material showing strong performance in the longer CRM category, the future for HSR Seeds is very exciting.
