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-816-E has excellent visual appeal with intense red grain color and uniform plant height. It is a great medium-full maturity
hybrid with excellent cold soil germination. W-816-E is a great choice due to the high weathering resistance and biotypes
C and E greenbug resistance. |
