Harvest time and fodder corn silage

Silage corn is harvested before seed corn and in the milky-waxy stage (this is when the plant has 70-75% water and by ensiling it, good quality fodder is obtained). It is better to harvest silage corn that is close to The waxy stage should be done depending on the means of harvest. It should be remembered that it takes about 10 days from the end of the milky stage to the waxy stage. (when the cobs have more than 40% of dry matter) in this stage (milky to waxy stage) the digestibility coefficient of organic matter for the whole plant is almost constant.
