Overview

Stable yield performance with great early and late-season agronomics.

  • Offensive agronomic characteristics for top-end yield potential.
  • Strong early season characteristics.
  • Consistent semi-flex ear provides yield stability across different soil types and management practices.
  • Good agronomic package, including strong roots — ideal for poorly drained soils.
  • Good grain quality and grain drydown.

Management Guidelines

  • Best performance at moderate to moderate-high plant populations.
  • Good early season characteristics make it a good choice for either conventional or reduced tillage systems.
  • Avoid areas with a high risk of Goss's wilt.
  • Shows moderate sensitivity to stalk rot. Avoid delayed harvest when environmental conditions favor stalk rot development.
  • Best performance when kept within the 97- to 101-day maturity range.
  • Ear development allows flex for girth and length, allows adaptation to a wide range of plant densities depending upon environment.
