KeyDrought: Agrisure Artesian water-optimized hybrid.

Agronomy ratings are based on statistically analyzed results of studies conducted by Syngenta. Agronomy ratings are relative based on other hybrids within the same maturity group.

General Interpretation of Hybrid Response to Management/Placement Situations and End Use Traits

Seeding Rate: The seeding rate columns indicate how well a hybrid responds to lower or higher planting populations. Your local NK retailer has a calculator tool to help determine the optimal seeding population for various environments in your local geography.

Adaptation to Soil Types/ Yield Environments: Ratings and soil type classifications are based on interpretation of studies conducted by Syngenta.

Continuous Corn: Favorable ratings in this column indicate hybrids containing multiple agronomic phenotypic traits deemed important for fields where corn is being cultivated for consecutive years. Ratings are weighted based on the following individual hybrid characteristics: emergence strength, early vigor, root and stalk strength, staygreen and yield.

End Use Traits: Ratings indicate end-use suitability based on the level of each grain quality characteristic.

Feed to Gain: Favorable ratings indicate hybrids with kernel density and weight associated with optimized feed to gain in a dry-rolled corn ration according to independent testing.
