Management Tips

Later planting dates with moderate populations, moderate nitrogen fertility levels and moderate irrigation will result in shorter and better standing plants with higher grain-to-stover ratios. Plant at 10 to 12 lbs. per acre in rows.

This is a juicy stalked hybrid. for proper harvest moistures, cut when the grain is in the medium dough stage. This occurs when the grain first reaches full color.

May be used for hay in fuller season growing areas. Plant 50 to 60 lbs per acre broadcast (drill).
