All ratings are general. Different pathotypes, races, and biotypes of diseases and insects can cause ratings to change.
All ratings are based on Warner field screenings and university screenings.
LDP Payment: Difference between the posted county price and the county loan rate.
HR = High Resistance, HT = Highly Tolerant, T = Tolerant, MT = Moderately Tolerant, S = Susceptible, 1 = Poor, 10 = Excellent
Management Notes:
2-Way BMR is designed to produce highly digestible and palatable ensilage or green chop. This hybrid has significantly better
digestibility than conventional forages enabling ruminant animals to utilize nutrients more efficiently. This can result in higher milk
production and increased weight gain. Harvest silage at soft dough stage for increased quality.
