DKC48-56RIB BRAND BLEND


Positioning

DKC48-56RIB Brand Blend is a 98 RM product that is widely adaptable except in areas with high levels of historic Goss's Wilt pressure. It can bring top-end yield potential to our lineup as well as nice overall field appearance.

Strengths & management

  • Very good top-end yield potential
  • Good drought stress tolerance
  • Very nice late season appearance and standability
  • Very good test weight and grain quality
  • Plant with confidence from east to west in the 95 to 100 RM zones
  • Taller plant type helps provide dual purpose potential
  • Product shows decent ear flex but can take high populations on more productive soils
  • Some greensnap risk exists so position carefully in areas of historic high risk
