Management Guidelines

  • Improved disease tolerance to northern corn leaf blight and gray leaf spot; monitor for fungicide application when disease presence is extremely high.
  • For optimal performance, maintain on highly productive soils with good water-supplying capacity and fertility practices.
  • Consistent yield on fields with variable soil types.
  • Strong root and stalk characteristics will support moderate to moderate-high plant densities.
  • Monitor harvest moisture closely as harvest approaches. Hybrids may be drier or wetter than physical appearance indicates.
  • When storing BMR hybrids in a pile or a bunker, recommended moisture levels for harvesting range from 66 percent to 70 percent; for bags, 66 percent to 68 percent.
