KEY STRENGTHS
Full flex hybrid with DroughtGard for the tough, low-population acre! Big, tall corn with dual-purpose potential.
WEAKNESSES
Higher ear placement. Average disease protection.
POSITIONING
Ideal for populations of 30,000 or less on lighter or otherwise stressy ground. Flex hybrid that responds to banded and/or early-season fertility. Tall hybrid that would make good silage, as well. If you are in an area where disease pressure is common, use a foliar fungicide.
