KEY STRENGTHS
Major SmartStax® PRO yield upgrade at this maturity! Tall hybrid that packs on the grain yield. Makes great corn silage, as well. Fast out of the ground with excellent early vigor.
WEAKNESSES
Use of a foliar fungicide is recommended to assist an average disease tolerance package.
POSITIONING
Big-time yielder that also tons out very well as corn silage. Broad acre placement is recommended throughout the Corn Belt and on the East Coast. Slightly higher populations and good potassium availability will help overcome husks that can be a little short. This hybrid has a fantastic response to intensive management including planting-time fungicide/insecticide/fertility/naturals (Alpha Complete). Use of a foliar fungicide is highly recommended, as gray leaf spot and southern rust can be hard on this hybrid.
