HYBRID APPEARANCE AND GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS:
Excellent late season plant health. Medium-high ear flex with very good early vigor. Normally produces heavy test weight grain.
SITUATIONS SUITED FOR HYBRID:
Can be used on lighter soil types where drought tolerance can benefit grower. Good selection for corn on corn, no-till, and early planting. Tolerant to gray leaf spot disease.
HOW TO ENHANCE PERFORMANCE:
Yield history, production goals and fertility programs can help you adjust planting planting population within suggested range. Avoid high rates of Balance Pro© herbicide.
