Cultivation recommendations
MDM2515 stands out for strong early vigor, which secures plant establishment—a primary component of yield potential. The hybrid shows consistent performance across situations and performs particularly well in high-potential environments. It also combines high fiber quality with a good starch level, supporting balanced and efficient rations.

Density advice (silage use)
Optimal conditions: 100000 plants/ha
Limited conditions: 90000 plants/ha
