Management Guidelines

  • Determinate ear type requires more-aggressive plant densities for optimum performance.
  • Very good emergence and early vigor for all reduced tillage applications.
  • Strong choice for continuous corn or corn-following-wheat crop rotations.
  • Good late-season health and plant integrity make it a good candidate for delayed harvest.
  • Best performance when kept within the 76- to 80-day maturity range. Avoid moving south of zone.
