CROPLAN

6226VT3 — 111-day RM (YGVT3)

  • Exceptional high-end yield potential; outstanding stalks, roots, plant health
  • Medium-short plant with fixed, girthy ear requiring higher populations
  • Flowers early for maturity; dries slowly with tropical in background driving staygreen
  • More green snap than 6126, less than 645; use with caution in NE and western IA

6331VT3 — 111-day RM (YGVT3)

  • Greatly improved stalks, roots, staygreen, intactness over 631
  • Exceptional on Goss' wilt; very good on anthracnose and NCLB
  • Same plant stature and flowering date as 631
  • Best on sandy loams, silt loams; avoid poorly drained clay loams

6150VT3 — 111-day RM (YGVT3)

  • New, high-yielding southern/northern/unrelated male
  • Improved plant health, stalks, roots, yield over 631, 721
  • Male adds staygreen, plant health enabling movement east and south into high-rainfall, high-disease areas
