_Outstanding late-season intactness and staygreen are just two of this hybrids attributes. It also carries excellent tolerance to Gosss Wilt and Northern Leaf Blight with very good scores for Gray Leaf Spot and Common Rust. Stalks and roots are very strong, making this an ideal product for tough corn-on-corn situations as long as an insecticide is used at planting. Its a very showy product all the way to harvest!_
