Response to intensive management: “Intensive management” denotes additional plant population (i.e. +5,000 ppa), nitrogen (i.e. +50 lbs N/acre), and with fungicide applications at VT (tassel stage). In trials this was generally compared to a standard management package that had inputs in the range of 30,000 – 32,000 ppa, 135 – 170 lbs N/acre, and no foliar fungicide applications. The numerical ratings in this category are scored from 0 – 10, where 0 = No response, 10 = A very large response, and UR = Unrated. Kernel number vs. kernel mass: N = A kernel number hybrid, where yield is driven more by the number of kernels; M = A kernel mass hybrid, where yield is driven more by the mass of each kernel; N/M = A hybrid that is slightly above-average in terms of yield being driven by both kernel number and kernel mass. Final seeding population: Population in 000s ppa that is the ideal target for this hybrid. Where conditions are less favourable, move to the lower range of the population recommendations. Plant height: S = Short; M = Medium; T = Tall Disease ratings: NCLB = Refers to Northern Corn Leaf Blight ANTH = Refers to Anthracnose
