_SCN resistance, excellent standability, as well as excellent tolerance to Brown Stem Rot, White Mold and Iron Chlorosis are the highlights of this 0.4 maturity soybean. Its a medium-tall, thinner plant type so keeping it in 20 inch rows and narrower is recommended. It also carries the Rps1-k gene for Phytophthora. It works best in the Red River Valley and east._
