_A new level of performance was seen in this line, which is a sister to our L 1845 R2X and L 2045 R2X and replaced them both for 2020! It also features the 3a + 1a combination for Phytophthora, is resistant to Brown Stem Rot and carries very good scores for White Mold and Iron Chlorosis. This is a nice, consistent plant that works best in narrower row spacings._
