100-110 days RM to silage harvest. Relative maturity for grain:
117-121 days. Excellent, durable, dual-purpose corn.
Tall, leafy hybrid offers exceptional grain yields under good
management and has performed exceptionally for silage.
Performs best in the California Central Valley from Redding to
Bakersfield and the desert Southwest.
Displays very good standability and good plant health throughout
the growing season.
Adapts well on all soils, including those with high pH.
Yields best at harvest populations of 30,000-32,000 ppa.
Plant up to June 20^th for silage.
RM: Relative maturity is a system of classification by the seed
industry to indicate days to harvest or maturity. This figure
varies with date of planting, temperate and other field conditions.

Days to silage harvest: 105-110 days RM Used exclusively for silage.
Well-adapted for silage in the Pacific Southwest. Tall plants with
broad leaves can give you high silage yields.
Very good stay-green permits a wider harvest window.
Tolerates drought stress well to help maintain full yield potential.
Use on tough solids.

Days to silage harvest: 105-110 days. Relative maturity 118 days.
Full season hybrid for high quality silage production.
Large, flex ear. Triple purpose hybrid.
Adapted for high quality grain and silage production in the Central Valley of California.
High yield potential
Possible replacement for N8214
Triple threat – silage, grain earlage.

Days to Silage Harvest: 98 to 102. Relative Maturity: 115 days.
Dual Purpose hybrid: Silage and Grain.
Very good agronomic features support top yieilds over a wide range of conditions.
Very good root and stalk strength for easier harvest.
Glyphosate tolerant variety herbicide flexibility.
