KEY STRENGTHS
Powerhouse yielder with excellent early season vigor and growth! Strong roots and stalks. High test weight.
WEAKNESSES
Average Goss’s wilt tolerance. Shows some sensitivity to high rates of HPPD herbicides.
POSITIONING
Western hybrid with very good drought tolerance. Keep west of US HWY 71 in MN. Works well for silage or for grain. Not for use in continuous corn. Requires fungicide applications due to average ratings on other diseases like gray leaf spot. Yields best in the good to great soils and in higher fertility situations.
AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS
The higher the number, the better the performance or rating.
My Hefty corn (H4732) has been doing very well against my DeKalb corn.
This year’s corn (Hefty 4732) is looking really good, we are seeing good emergence and stand-ability in our fields, and they’re looking even.
Hefty continues to be one of the fastest emerging seeds on my farm.
The emergence on H4732 exceeded my expectations!
