_Excellent emergence and strong early growth make this soybean a great choice for no-till/reduced tillage acres. It carres the combination Rps3-a plus Rps1-c genes for Phytophthora, strong SCN tolerance from PI 88788 and is fully resistant to BSR. The upper canopy is fairly open which helps where White Mold is a concern. Iron Chlorosis tolerance is very good. It is a medium-tall plant with moderate lateral branching. Very well adapted from the Dakotas to Wisconsin._
