Starlord

Starlord is a forage maize variety built for high-quality silage, especially in dairy systems where milk production is the priority. With an FAO of 190, it’s well suited to UK growing windows and performs strongly where feed quality and consistency matter.

Starlord is known for excellent digestibility, supporting strong feed value in the clamp. Its stay green characteristics also help maintain quality as the crop matures, giving it the potential to produce exceptional silage and a more manageable harvest window. It’s a strong option across both AD and dairy end uses, combining digestibility-led performance with practical on-farm handling.
