Heavy Hittin' Hybrids
Dec 4, 2006 5:17 PM, Compiled by Kate Royer
- Excellent emergence, stalk strength, staygreen and gray leaf spot
- Great performance stability across soil types and management practices
- Best adapted to the central and eastern growing areas
- Medium height with very high yield potential and good Goss's wilt tolerance
- Produces very consistent, moderately girthy ears with white cobs, very good grain quality
- Performs best at moderate plant populations that allow ears to flex
- A standout at late field days due to exceptional plant health and staygreen
- Features excellent early vigor, stalk strength and ear retention
- Strong choice for no-till and early planting
- Excellent yield stability across a wide range of environments and management practices
- Particularly well adapted east of the Mississippi River where the western corn rootworm “soybean variant” is present
- Best performance at medium-high to high plant densities
- Drought and stress tolerant performer
- Extra Edge Highly Extractable Starch hybrid
- Outstanding stalk and root strength for exceptional standability
- Good plant health with NCLB protection
- Strong emergence and early growth
- Recommended for corn-on-corn acres
- Extra Edge DGE/HES hybrid
- Top choice for standablility
- Excellent plant health, stalks and roots
- Extra Edge Highly Extractable Starch hybrid
- High yield potential hybrid
- Strong agronomics and GLS protection
- Very good emergence, strong roots, fast drydown
- Super gray leaf spot tolerance
- Excellent continuous corn hybrid
- Brown shucks on a green plant, very girthy ears
- Plant thick on dark prairie soils
- Extremely high yield potential
- Excellent disease resistance
- Excellent continuous corn hybrid
- Great in southern Corn Belt as early hybrid
- Huge flex ear, really good stalks and roots
- Plant at medium populations
- New white cob hybrid
- Huge ear flex, great stalks and roots
- Outstanding drought tolerance
- The foundation hybrid in its maturity zone
- Tolerates a wide range of soil types, best suited for heavier soils
- Excellent drought tolerance and later silking down allow movement south of maturity zone
- Moderate disease resistance suggests best performance on rotated soils
- New hybrid family with above-average standability
- Superb yield potential for the most productive yield environments
- Superior yield potential even under hot, dry growing conditions
- Flex ear, excellent roots and stalks
- Will perform well at lower populations but has the genetic package to yield at high populations
- Flex ear, excellent roots and stalks
- Works well on irrigated or dryland acres
- Flex ear, excellent roots and stalks
- Works well on irrigated or dryland acres
- Excellent choice for no-till and all crop rotations, achieves best performance at medium-high populations on mixed to better soil types
- Strong stalk and root strength, very good staygreen and late-season intactness
- Widely adapted east-to-west with very good southern adaptation for grain or silage
- Flex style ear that allows use across varying plant populations on most soil types
- Very good disease ratings for gray leaf spot, NCLB and SCLB
- Excellent emergence and seedling vigor to perform in any tillage system
- Very good stalk and root strength, staygreen
- Best adapted central and west and has very good southern movement for its maturity
- Well adapted east to west in higher yield environments
- Ears have a girthy fixed length with very good grain quality and test weight
- Emergence and seedling vigor are strong and will allow use in reduced tillage systems
- Reliable, high yield performance in wet or dry years; amazing, top-rated root strength
- Very good natural European corn borer tolerance
- Excellent drydown
- Exceptional yields, solid agronomics
- Amazing drought tolerance
- Impressive roots and stalks
- Widely adaptable across management systems
- High, stable yield performance across environments
- Exceptional late-season plant integrity, appearance, excellent drydown
- A great choice for continuous corn
- Exciting, consistent yield capability across soil types
- Ear flex compensates at lower populations
- Strong performance in drought conditions
- Exceptional northern leaf blight tolerance
