Management Guidelines

  • Very good ear flex allows adaptation to a wide range of plant densities.
  • Strong early season characteristics make this a good choice for reduced tillage systems.
  • Excellent tolerance to eyespot, Goss's wilt and northern corn leaf blight.
  • Avoid moving north of the area of adaptation. Maturity range is 98 to 102 days.
  • Good late-season health and plant intactness allows southern movement as an early hybrid option in Zone 5.
  • Average tolerance to gray leaf spot; avoid areas with high gray leaf spot pressure.
  • Flowers late for the maturity.
