Placement/Management

Its flex ear allows W6871 to perform on tough soils and in stress conditions. Great east to west adaptability. A good candidate for a fungicide application in environments prone to leaf disease.

  • Best under crop roation
  • Conventional or no-till
  • Medium to medium high populations
  • Avoid areas prone to extreme gray leaf spot pressure
