Key Features and Benefits

1. Exceptional Drought Tolerance

23B50 stands out for its ability to maintain ear size and yield potential under drought conditions, making it ideal for regions with limited rainfall or high temperatures.

2. Outstanding Ear Flex

The hybrid’s flexible ear type allows for high yield potential even at lower planting populations, making it adaptable to varying management practices.

3. Early Flowering for Heat Stress Avoidance

Early flowering traits help this hybrid avoid heat stress during pollination, ensuring better kernel development and yield stability.

4. Excellent Yield Stability

This hybrid consistently delivers reliable performance in Western growing conditions, from I35 to the Pacific, and adapts well to variable field conditions.

5. Robust Agronomic Strength

• Strong roots and excellent stalk strength ensure outstanding standability.
• Excellent resistance to Goss’ Wilt and brittle stalk tolerance minimize potential losses in the field.

Placement Recommendations

Ideal Growing Conditions

• Soil Versatility: Performs exceptionally on poor and high-yield potential acres, adapting to productive and marginal soils.
• Planting Populations: Suitable for populations ranging from 12,000 to 36,000 plants per acre, accommodating diverse management practices.

Regional Suitability

23B50 thrives in various regions, including:

• PA, IA, NE, KS, MD, VA, DE, SD, TX Panhandle, CA, CO, and NM.

Considerations for Eastern Regions

While excellent for Western growing conditions, growers in the East should monitor for potential challenges with stalk anthracnose and Gray Leaf Spot (GLS).

Agronomic Tips

• Adaptable Populations: Performs well across various planting densities, from low to high populations.
• Heat and Drought Resilience: Maintains ear size and yield potential under stress due to early flowering and superior drought tolerance.
• Disease Resistance: Excellent resistance to Goss’ Wilt and good tolerance to Northern Leaf Blight and brittle stalk minimize risks.
