Separate Refuge Requirements
Overview
Full, dense canopy and medium/tall plants make F2F817 a very competitive tonnage BMR hybrid.
Very good whole-plant digestibility for dairy rations.
Good gray leaf spot tolerance and very good northern corn leaf blight tolerance.
BMR trait, very good agronomics, eye appeal, semi-flex ear and white cob make it an excellent full-season choice for silage.

Management Guidelines
Highly recommended for silage use in full-season environment.
Best performance will be on high-fertility fields with irrigation or adequate rainfall.
Works well in a continuous corn rotation but prefers a corn/soybean rotation.
Avoid planting at aggressively high plant densities. Moderate to moderate-high plant densities complement the performance characteristics.
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.
Miticide application is highly recommended when planted in areas where significant spider mite occurrence is expected.
Harder kernel texture will benefit from a kernel processor.
