Management Guidelines

  • Highly recommended for silage use within its adapted maturity.
  • Solid plant agronomics will support moderate to moderate-high plant densities and narrow row widths. Avoid very aggressive 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.
  • Consider the use of a foliar fungicide when planting corn after corn or in fields with a history of leaf blight problems.
