Management Guidelines

  • 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.
  • Flowers late for the maturity. Avoid moving north of the area of adaptation. Maturity range is 99 to 103 days.
  • Good late-season health and plant intactness allow southern movement as an early hybrid option in Zone 5.
  • Average tolerance to gray leaf spot; avoid areas with high gray leaf spot pressure.
