Seedsc sc 555 5kg

SeedCo SC 555 is a medium- to late-maturing hybrid maize variety that combines excellent yield stability with adaptability across Zambia’s agro-ecological zones. It matures in about 135–145 days and produces large, well-filled cobs with flint-to-semi-flint grains, suitable for both home consumption and commercial processing. SC 555 is valued for its strong stalks and root system, ensuring good standability even under wind or heavy cob load. It also shows resistance to major maize diseases such as grey leaf spot, rust, and maize streak virus.
With proper agronomic management — including good fertilization and weed control — farmers can achieve 8–11 tons per hectare under favorable conditions. Its drought tolerance and yield reliability make it a top choice for farmers seeking both profitability and food security.
