KEY STRENGTHS
Stress tolerant, high-yielding hybrid! Strong Goss’s tolerance and excellent test weight. Great greensnap scores as well.
WEAKNESSES
Ear type has a little less flex and a medium high population is preferred.
POSITIONING
Keep the populations up over 25,000 in the stress zones and pour the coals to this hybrid with population, fertility, and foliar fungicides in the high yielding ground. Excellent low-end yield stability with great upside as well. Planting time insecticide is recommended in areas of the country with moderate levels of rootworm or other soil insect pressure.
AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS
The higher the number, the better the performance or rating.
Hefty 5522 is above average in emergence, disease, and yield. It performed well, and we increased our quantity and broadened our varieties with our Hefty Seed order.
Hefty 5522 was 10 bushels better than the competitive 105-day hybrid in the same field.
Hefty 5522 weathered some big storms and stood up to serious winds. This corn is economical.
Hefty 5522 did so awesome for me! I will definitely plant it again.
