CastorMaxx©
CastorMaxx© is an integrated castor cultivation system pioneered by Kaiima, that combines first-class hybrid seeds with advanced, large-scale growing protocols, enabling growers to scale-up castor farming and achieve breakthrough bean and oil yield potential.
The CastorMaxx© system optimizes production through customized and scalable solutions – sustainably and economically producing castor oil as a renewable feedstock for the high-value, bio-based products industry.
The CastorMaxx© platform is an industry-leading castor production system that drives castor productivity to new heights. CastorMaxx© hybrids offer game-changing yield and benefits to growers. The platform is supported by experts in breeding, crop management and research aimed to customize castor farming to fit the needs of each individual market.
Breeding
Genetics at the heart of the system
Irrigated and non-irrigated hybrid varieties
Super-early and early, compact architecture, high-density, high-yield, high oil content and Botrytis tolerance
Potential of 2 harvests per year
With very high yield potential (>3 T/Ha per harvest) in optimal growing conditions
Uniform hybrids, in appearance and maturity
Adapted to mechanized harvesting
Crop management
Agronomic protocols
- Sowing and planting population recommendations
- Fertilization
- Pests and diseases management
- Irrigation recommendations
- Harvesting and post-harvesting
Breakthrough grain and oil yield
All hybrids under breeding program are expected to deliver better yields, higher oil content and shorter crop cycle.
Harvesting
All Kaiima’s Castor hybrids are suitable for mechanized harvesting.
