Overview

• High yield potential with fast drydown for good ROI

• Strong stalks with good late-season standability

• Good choice for fields with a history of Goss’ wilt

• Low green snap risk

Placement/Management

Consistent performance across productivity levels but best when planted on well drained soils. Strong choice for acres prone to Goss’ wilt. Fungicide recommended when environmental conditions favor leaf disease development.

Soil Adaptability

Rating Soil Category
E
Light Soils

LOW CEC (<10); OM <1.5%; low water-holding capacity; non-irrigated sand; marginal productivity; drought prone.

E
Medium Soils

EC 11–18; OM 1.5-3.5%; well-drained; silt loam; high productivity.

E
Heavy Soils

High CEC (>18); OM >3.5%; poorly-drained; high clay content; gumbo; muck

VG
Poorly-drained Soils

Soils that have the potential to remain saturated for prolonged periods; side hill seeps; gumbo muck
