KEY STRENGTHS
Big yields and excellent plant structure! If you designed a corn plant, it would have strong roots and a healthy stalk that didn’t have to be 10 feet tall to produce a big ear. This is that plant.
WEAKNESSES
Doesn’t like wet feet.
POSITIONING
This is a stable hybrid that has excellent yield potential if you manage it well. You can push the population anywhere from medium to medium high for your area. It responds well to fertility and early planting. Foliar fungicide use is encouraged for help with diseases such as gray leaf spot but also to promote plant health and higher yields.
AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS
The higher the number, the better the performance or rating.
I haven’t been disappointed with the Hefty Seed yet. I’m hoping to see nice results again going forward.
The plant health of H5832 looks outstanding. It came up even and uniform.
Out of everything I planted, Hefty has always been the first corn out of the ground over the last three years.
This was my first year of planting any Hefty Seed and I was very pleased with how well it performed. I will definitely be trying more in the future.
