KEY STRENGTHS
Exciting SmartStax® product with dual-purpose potential! Tall hybrid with a very good stalk that produces heavy kernels and a lot of tonnage. Works very well in continuous corn.

WEAKNESSES
HPPD herbicide tolerance to 2-3X rates is not great, so follow the labels and don’t overlap.

POSITIONING
This is a really good SmartStax® product that can push for very high yields and also produce tonnage if you need silage corn. It works in nearly all soil types and excels in the high yield environments. The roots are good, but we’ve seen an advantage adding an insecticide and Alpha Complete in the furrow.
