Management Guidelines

  • Highly recommended for silage use within its adapted maturity.
  • A strong fertility program for silage production is important to maximize tonnage and maintain the quality of the silage.
  • For optimal performance, position this hybrid in the proper maturity zone (97 to 103). Avoid placing too far south.
  • This hybrid will respond best to more moderate plant densities to complement the ear development and root strength.
  • When storing TMF hybrids in a pile or a bunker, recommended moisture levels for harvesting range from 65 percent to 68 percent; for bags, 62 percent to 68 percent.
