KEY STRENGTHS
Early riser! High yielding corn with outstanding early vigor. Handles stress well and works in all tillage systems. Enhanced protection from anthracnose stalk rot.
WEAKNESSES
Stalks are good, but harvest timely.
POSITIONING
The root system on H5432 is really good, and with the high level of early vigor you can expect a strong response to in-furrow microbials like Alpha Complete, as well as 2 X 2 or banded fertility. There is flex for girth, which will also be expressed with early fertility. Manage with foliar fungicides for disease as hybrid tolerance is average.
AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS
The higher the number, the better the performance or rating.
Hefty Corn 5432 Plot Results
We have had a really good run with Hefty Corn hybrids on our farm over the last several years. In fact, they have been our top-yielding hybrids for a number of years now.
I put my Hefty corn up to my favorite Pioneer and Dekalb, and wow does it perform! I’ll keep planting Hefty!
I first tried Hefty because of the price point. Then I put four hybrids in my competition plot with four other brands of corn. Hefty took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in my plot. That’s when I knew I was planting the real deal!
I know that when I give my business to Hefty Seed Company, I can count on great yields from their products and outstanding service from their knowledgeable agronomists.
I plant corn for Habitat for Hunting. My ground is really tough due to flooding it each year. I switched to Hefty Corn because of how well it handles tough, dry soil.
The emergence and yields I have gotten from my Hefty Brand Seed have been outstanding!
Out of everything I planted, Hefty has always been the first corn out of the ground over the last three years.
