Latham L 2494 XF features very strong SCN tolerance from PI 88788, the Rps1-c gene for Phytophthora and outstanding emergence and early growth. That, combined with the medium-plus plant height and good lateral branching, makes this an excellent choice for reduced tillage acres. It is widely adapted east to west and will work in most yield environments. It is tolerant to the Sulfonylurea (group 2) class of herbicides. In 2019 breeder trials, it topped L 2384 R2X by 1 bu/A.
