HYBRID APPEARANCE AND GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS:
Medium tall plant with medium-high ear placement. Season-long health and strong defensive traits against heat and dry weather stress.
SITUATIONS SUITED FOR HYBRID:
Developed to perform well in maturity zones 5, 6, 7, 8. Durable hybrid for variable soils in Southern two-thirds of our marketing area. Can be utilized as full-season refuge hybrid in northern one-third of marketing area.
HOW TO ENHANCE PERFORMANCE:
Deep fall tillage on continuous corn acres if compaction is present can benefit early season growth and root development. Provide late season availability of nitrogen.
