Strong early vigor. Medium tall plant height and medium-high ear placement. Excellent stalk strength and medium-high ear flex.
SITUATIONS SUITED FOR HYBRID:
Flexible trait package for growers considering herbicide rotation options. Continuous corn acres with variable soil types that are normally higher in productivity.
HOW TO ENHANCE PERFORMANCE:
Avoid soil types prone to compaction, nutrient loss due to soil saturation, and ponding. Plant early on medium to more highly productive soil types at suggested moderate planting populations.
