Features ear flex, so populations are best kept to lower seeding rates. Responds to high-yielding environments but is also adapted to medium to lower yielding fields. Use as a dual-purpose hybrid. Flexible ear style allows population to match yield goal. Positioning on higher fertility soils will help maximize yield potential. True flex ear type – do not need to push the population for optimal yields. Handles challenging situations well – plant health and flex ear (strong candidate for sandier soils). Adapts very well to sand and lighter soils. Big plant that handles stressed environments very well.
