  • New hybrid family with above-average standability
  • Superb yield potential for the most productive yield environments
33D14 — 112-Day RM (HXX/LL/RR2)


  • Superior yield potential even under hot, dry growing conditions
PRODUCERS HYBRIDS
7071 — 110-Day RM (YGCB)


  • Flex ear, excellent roots and stalks
  • Will perform well at lower populations but has the genetic package to yield at high populations
7073 — 110-Day RM (YGCB/RR)


  • Flex ear, excellent roots and stalks
  • Works well on irrigated or dryland acres
7072 — 110-Day RM (RR)


  • Flex ear, excellent roots and stalks
  • Works well on irrigated or dryland acres
VIGORO
V51RP73 — 111-Day RM (RR/YGPL)


  • 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
V52P72 — 112-Day RM (YGPL)


  • 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
V45RP73 — 105-Day RM (RR/YGPL)
