- Strong emergence and vigor for early planting
- Very good stalk strength aids in harvest efficiency
- Gray leaf spot tolerance improves late-season performance
- Outstanding top-end yield potential
- Strong seedling vigor for early planting
- Very good late-season staygreen
- Medium-tall, high-yielding hybrid
- Good stalk strength and staygreen for late-season standability
- Widely adapted over various soil types
- Shining star of 2005 NET Testing program
- Blockbuster yield with excellent emergence, good drought tolerance and nice ear flex
- Super consistency, great standability and moderate ear flex, great choice for silage
- High extractable starch, above-average test weight; includes Poncho 250 plus Trilex FL
- Outstanding ear girth
- High yield with good test weight
- Will yield under stressful conditions
- Excellent early vigor and stress tolerance
- Attractive plant type with uniform ear placement
- Excellent grain quality and high fermentable starch, very good yield performance

- Good tolerance to gray leaf spot
- Adapted form Illinois to Nebraska
- Very stress tolerant, excellent yield potential
- Especially well adapted from western Iowa to Nebraska; also available as HX and RR/HX
- Excellent yield potential
- Improved root strength compared to related hybrids, very good drought tolerance
- Healthy plant for southern movement
- Excellent yield potential
- Adapted from Illinois to Nebraska
- Ear flex adapts well to moderate populations
- Strong roots for ridge-till, fits all tillage systems
- Strong stalks for standability
- Top-end yield potential, impressive season long health; performs best in fertile soils
- Superior stalks and roots, excellent staygreen; fast emergence favors no-till planting
- Best two-year yield record of any hybrid in this maturity
- Excellent plant health and fast drydown
- Performs well in dryland and under irrigation
- Excellent use as silage hybrid
- Very high yield potential
- Excellent hybrid for corn following corn

- Large flexible ear, fast drydown
- Excellent stress tolerance
- Medium plant and ear height
- Strong top-end yield
- Excellent choice for irrigated west
- Excellent roots, good ear flex
- Strong GLS tolerance
- Excellent standability, staygreen, ear retention and late-season plant intactness
- Great yield stability and very good drought-stress tolerance
- Strong choice for corn-on-corn acres
- Improved test weight, better husk coverage and lower ear height
- Yield stability over years and environments will be a major strength of this hybrid
- Performs best in areas where it is medium-full to full-season
- Outstanding yields from quality grain produced on long, girthy ears with white cobs
- Performs well at low to medium-high plant densities, moderate tolerance to gray leaf spot
- Widely adapted from Delmarva to western Kansas
- Medium-tall plants feature excellent emergence, drought tolerance and ear retention
- Excellent standability and staygreen allow for delayed harvesting
