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.

I am really excited to see how Hefty 4734 ends up this fall. It has looked great all year!

Josh, Minnesota

My Hefty 4734 corn was planted two days later than the neighbor’s Mycogen and Hefty came up before. This is going to have to translate into more yield and more money in my pocket!

Sam, Quincy, Washington

I have really been pleased with the overall performance of Hefty Brand Seed and plan on using it in the future.

Joe, Southeast Minnesota

Hefty always brings good products and information. I have good luck with their products!
