Exclusive Super Crost Product Lineup
Excellent offensive choice, 4805 has the yield punch that compares with 110-111 RM hybrids. Strong emergence, stand establishment, and solid canopy, builds a medium plant with good intactness through harvest. Very low risk of greensnap along with solid drought hardiness and good defense against Goss Wilt enhance the western performance. 4805 has a long, semi-flex ear type, that will respond to increased seeding rate as total management increases. A hybrid that responds very well to post applied fungicide, avoid saturated soil conditions.

Solid, compact, and sturdy, with eye opening yield capability. A hybrid that simply does the job beginning with very good, uniform emergence. A moderate sized plant, with a deep rich color and health that leaves it intact with good stay green at harvest, aided by the ASR gene to combat anthracnose stalk rot late in the season. A semi-determined ear with 16-18 kernel rows on a small cob that packs grain in tightly, with a deep kernel set. Is well placed south of maturity due to heat tolerance as well as movement north, where it would be a full season hybrid.

Widely adapted for moderate to high-yield level environments. The Medium-Tall plant has long leaves that are semi-relaxed in the lower canopy and upright in the upper canopy for better light interception by the ear leaf. The girthy ear has tightly packed kernels with good length while generally having some tip on the ear. Strong response to fungicide in tar spot and southern rust environments. This VT4Pro® hybrid brings black cutworm, western bean cutworm and corn earworm protection over a SmartStax® hybrid with very good corn rootworm protection.

A strong, robust hybrid that plants its way from tough to top performing farms. A great start lends to a great finish as this hybrid emerges, establishes stand, and moves to canopy in quick and early fashion. As strong a root system as you will find along with a strong stalk and low risk of greensnap supports and fuels a girthy, semi-flex ear type. Drought and heat tolerance attract it to southern corn-belt climates, and Goss Wilt defense makes for great western movement as well. Late health and standability complete an outstanding package for wide acre purposes.

Impressive top end yield, with a strong back-bone of stress tolerance led by root strength, very low greensnap risk, and Goss’ Wilt defense. The semi-determined ear is blocky with good kernel count that can produce under more stressed conditions, at the same time able to yield at the top end with increased seeding rates. A moderate plant height and stature assists the stalk strength, late standability while lowering greensnap risk. With that size will want to use caution on light, sandy soils, high pH soils and steep slopes.
