Overview

  • An excellent choice in this maturity with high yield potential across soil types
  • Flex ear excels over a wide range of plant populations
  • Impressive Goss’ wilt resistance
Also Available as

Placement/Management

Outstanding performance across multiple soil types and environments. Strong option for fields with history of Goss' wilt. A fungicide application is highly recommended to maximize yield. 

Soil Adaptability

Rating Soil Category
E
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

VG
Poorly-drained Soils

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