Overview

  • Stable, high-yield performance across well-drained soils
  • Risk-spreading early pollination for maturity
  • High tolerance to Goss’ wilt
  • Rapid drydown

Placement/Management

Ear flex allows for high yields at varying planting populations. Performs well in high and low yield environments. Best suited for well-drained soils.

Soil Adaptability

Rating Soil Category
VG
Light Soils

LOW CEC (<10); OM <1.5%; low water-holding capacity; non-irrigated sand; marginal productivity; drought prone.

E
Medium Soils

EC 11–18; OM 1.5-3.5%; well-drained; silt loam; high productivity.

E
Heavy Soils

High CEC (>18); OM >3.5%; poorly-drained; high clay content; gumbo; muck

G
Poorly-drained Soils

Soils that have the potential to remain saturated for prolonged periods; side hill seeps; gumbo muck
