A tall but well balanced plant with large consistent ears set at a low to medium height. Average early vigour provides a slow start but vigour increases during the vegetative period resulting in a very strong and robust plant. Kernel type is medium-soft (semi dent) and kernel size is above average. Very good drought/stress tolerance and excellent stalk strength, staygreen and plant integrity create a solid platform for both silage and grain growers. Trial results to date put this hybrid reliably among the top performers in this very competitive maturity group.
