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.
HR = High Resistance, HT = Highly Tolerant, T = Tolerant, MT = Moderately Tolerant, S = Susceptible, 1 = Poor, 10 = Excellent
Management Notes:
W-624-Y has deep yellow grain color with excellent drought tolerance and standability. It has strong staygreen qualities that
allow it to retain green lower leaves during late-season drought stress in order to retain yield potential.
W-624-Y is a highly recommended, medium maturity, hybrid for dryland or limited irrigation. |
