LH 4937 VT2 PRO is a taller hybrid with lots of yield potential, plant integrity and standability. Plant stature allows for dual-purpose use but does not take away from plant integrity and standability. This product responds to high-end fertility management, has solid agronomics, and works east to west well in its maturity zone and north. Avoid the typically over-stressed soils and farms south of its zone. LH 4937 VT2 PRO RIB is a Grain First / Silage Capable hybrid.
