Leafy hybrids have shown increased injury after postemergent application of Group 27 & 28 herbicides in comparison to other hybrids. Corn on Corn: If “Yes,” denotes that this hybrid contains enhanced insect protection, which protects performance on corn-after-corn fields. Plant height: S = Short; M = Medium; T = Tall; VT = Very tall Kernel texture: VS = Very soft; S = Soft; M = Medium; H = Hard Starch amount: 1 = Low; 9 = High Early starch availability at harvest: 1 = Least readily available; 9 = Most readily available Tips on how to select the right hybrid for your ration.
